On-call is even worse for people with disabilities. I quite literally can't do it unless I stop taking my antipsychotic.
Under ADA, I can not be placed on call, regardless of policy, nor can I be discriminated against for that. On-call is not an essential function of being a software developer, with very few exceptions—all of which have nothing to do with "policy" or "fairness".
Needless to say, companies (and some coworkers) really don't like this.
