If you contracted in overtime hours, flexibility, shift extentions, call outs etc, then you would be being paid.

Trying to convince people to swap out of overtime schemes is very difficult.

Ours wasn't really an option, it was a take it or leave it, but now everyone probrably wouldn't go back to overtime.

The people who don't get paid enough are the Ambulance, Nurses & Firefighters IMHO
