Discussion on: Making On-Call Not Suck

We are also a team of 5 and each member is on-call for one week.
This works well if everybody is working full time (100%). How about if one or more members want to reduce their activity and go part-time (from 100% to 80% or 60%, working only 3 or 4 days per week instead of 5)? The one-week on-call is no longer possible.
Is one-day on-call duration a solution in this case? Any idea is welcome.
Thanks.
Alex

One day I would think would be too short and require too much context switching. Half weeks might be a good option. Definitely not easy when not everyone is on the same work schedule.
