The on-call exclusion covers time awaiting a call to work, not ordinary wages for hours actually worked. These are straight-time gross wages, not pure base salary or total compensation. Discuss per diem, travel and relocation separately. BLS pay-term definitions.

For Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA, the May 2025 OEWS annual median is $207,900; the middle half runs from $163,330 to $235,360. This is a broader occupation, not a separate wage estimate for this exact job. BLS does not separate seniority titles that share this row.
