Not sure what others get, within the NHS (employed) engineers get 9.5% of their salary for being on call for 1 in every 3 weeks or more often, Its something like 7.5% for less often and by the time they are down to 1 in 6 its around 3%.

On top of that for each callout they will recieve Overtime from leaving their house until they return.

Well from an Electrical side of things in the old days of employment we were offered call outs evenings and weekends with a minimum 4 Hours pay, so if it took 5 minutes you got 4 Hours, if it took 5 Hours you got 5 Hours, this was at overtime rate of time + 1/2.

These days I work for the same rate 24/7
