The On-Call Night Call situation is similar here whereby the "older staff" like me take the Night Call duties as part of our job. However, the younger generation staff are somewhat resistant to eagerly volunteering for such duties. I asked them about this situation. The feedback is that if the employer provides a more generous compensation wage during off hours then they would gladly sign up for Night Call/On-Call. However, if the expectation is they will do this without compensation then they would rather NOT sign up and instead spend time with their families.<br /><br />The conclusion I draw from this unofficial survey is that if organizations pay and compensate the employee for the Night Call/On-Call then we will see more people signing up for that time slot. <br /><br />Thanks for your time.<br /><br />Mission Critical ContributorFelixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08138079889028301782noreply@blogger.com
