Probably the same if not less than for any other public sector employee.

When they talk about job losses, they mean not replacing officers that leave, not making them redundant.

They are wanting to remove that safety net and have short, medium and long term contracts instead of an ongoing job.
I don't know if anyone was watching the BBC News there. Nick Robinson has just claimed every cop in London gets double time for working Sundays. A blatant lie that makes the 4 hours O/T for answering a phonecall myth seem believable.
I'm curious as to other workers experiences with overtime. Every previous workplace I've been in has offered time and a half at a minimum for overtime and the current time and third, minus the first half hour, is the lowest I've experienced yet it's still trotted out as being outrageous and tantamount to sticking your fingers in the till.
What do firemen, ambulance workers, nurses etc. get for overtime rates?
