Payment for being on-call

Have a question about paying those who are required to carry a beeper. I realize that we only need to pay them if their carrying the beeper interferes with their personal enjoyment. Does it make a difference, though, whether they are exempt or non-exempt? We pay our non-exempt for carrying a beeper but not the exempts.

Working in healthcare (the King of the on-call industry)we do not pay any exempt employee for being on-call. It is part of their job and they do it w/o any addt'l compensation. I do know of some smaller health facilities that choose to pay on-call pay to their exempt staff, but I think they are in the minority of all hospitals.
