- a new computer for my own personal use at home. Every three years I get to buy a computer for $3000. (Basically $1000 per year, but we get it all up front and it is ammortized out) I have a sweet machine. Should I leave work I either have to give the PC to my work or buy the remainder out. When I receive a call I have to use the computer to remotely access the network at work.
- a BlackBerry
- My internet bill is paid for as I can remote onto the network and resolve any issues from home
- I get paid $250 per week of on-call
- should I have to go into the office to resolve a call then I get a minimum of 2 hours OT.
I've got a pretty good deal. We looked at how much was paid out for being on-call and figured out a way to make it a really sweet deal w/o the company having to pay extra money. Would I have the sweet computer had I opted to just get paid? No, the money would have likely gone elsewhere. Thats what makes the deal so good. I get stuff that I want but probably wouldn't have got had I got the money instead.
