I used to do this as a sysadmin, and these days I sometimes do it as a developer.
It's ok.

Don't let them make you do it on the regular without getting paid for it!

Definitely, the expectations need to be set up-front and pay negotiated to reflect the extra work, either as an overall salary increase or as overtime pay for non-exempt workers.
