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?

in my experience those in the private sector are very lucky if they get overtime rates ,my wife doesn't (not even for weekends) non of the factory workers at the company i subby to get overtime rates ,the night shift get the same pay as the day shift
