You can't be oncall 24hours. That's broken. Human beings need sleep. An oncall rotation that has an individual oncall for 24 hours is a broken thing. And depending on the country it also rightfully violates labour laws.
Second you get paid when you work. Oncall is work. Now it might be less demanding work, so it might get paid a bit less than the 9-5 part, but it has to get paid. Do work, get paid. Simple rule, people should stop fucking with it. And again, labour laws show up here.
If you're oncall you can't shut the pager off. If shutting the pager off is a thing people"oncall" do it's a broken oncall culture. Since it's often a consequence of the first two problems, those must be fixed first.
You should not be asleep when you're oncall. Same issues as the last problem; same likely causes.
You also shouldn't be oncall often. One 12 hour / 7 day shift every six weeks is fine.
Also pages should not be common. They should be for real, actual issues. If you regularly get paged more than once per shift, your oncall shift is broken.
