FM On Call practices
Hi all, I am looking to do some benchmarking for on-call practices for on call staffing and pay procedures. I am looking for feedback on the processes people use and if they generally align with the process outlined below. 
  • We have an employee for each functional area on call to respond after hours/weekends
  • They serve a week at a time in a rotation within their shop, need to remain within 1 hour of campus, and be reachable via cell phone. (99% utilize their personal cell phones as a point of contact).
  • Our campus safety department answers phones 24/7 and determines if a call in is required by Facilities staff. Our business hours are M-F 7-330
  • They receive 4 hours of straight pay for being on call for the week
    • If there is a holiday during that period, they receive an additional 2 hours for each holiday day
  • If called in, they receive a minimum of 4 hours 1.5 pay rate and the same pay if the call in takes more than 4 hours
  • If they complete the call and get off campus/home and receive another call, that is an additional 4 hour minimum. If they are on campus still, they respond as a continuation of the first call.
