There was a big case came out of Texas about 30 years ago, San Antonio I think. Concerned requiring employees to carry pagers and be on call. Ended up they (whoever that was) had to pay for on call time.
Most of the pager carrying people in mid level positions that I"ve run across in the past 20 or so years have been compensated in some form for the pager and the on call.
