> You can't just pay someone a salary then say "oh yeah you need to wear this pager at the weekend".

It seems to be the case in every job I've had. Maybe they ARE adhering to some laws but at the end of the day I get paid a salary, and I have on-call evenings+weekends which I don't select. I can swap shifts, but it's my responsibility to find a substitute. I average 4-5 shifts/months.

As far as I know, all of FANGetc is like this. It may be the case that labor laws permit this. Still miserable.
