One week a month (Thursday to Thursday), I'm on call 24/7 (mostly to 
support our outsourced operations due to the time difference).  The other 
three weeks, I'm asked (not required) to be available by cell phone in 
case of an emergency.

This is all part of my normal salary (almost six figures).

No pager, just a phone (which work pays for).
