Compensation for On-Call Time?

There's been some recent scheduling changes at my job to accommodate one of our managers taking medical leave. One of those changes is myself and another technician being put on alternating 2 weeks of after hours on-call in the event of any emergencies on-site. Management has told us we'll get 3 hours minimum if we are called in, but has made no mention of compensation for being on-call. I had agreed initially because it was presented as a temporary situation, but now they're making it sound like they want this to be a permanent rotation. This wasn't in my original contract, and I haven't signed anything. Is this legal? What can I do about it?
