I'm in Europe, and work for an American company. After a few issues in production, they tried to implement an on-call requirement for employees to check the alerts during their out of work hours (5am to 10pm or something stupid like that). I just reminded them that my country has the "Right to disconnect" law, which protects us from having to work outside our required hours.

They changed it to volunteer basis. I refuse to volunteer (because my off time is my time).

Was there any extra compensation offered for the added duty?

There is no need for extra compensation. Our employees love the sense of pride and accomplishment when they volunteer to be on call off hours.
