Expertly not answered. We're talking about police not other public sector workers.

I'll ask again, you contribute 14%, how much does the force contribute?

They are wanting to remove that safety net and have short, medium and long term contracts instead of an ongoing job.
as I understand, that is not on the table.

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.
I don't get it, I used to get it in a more junior position, but for the last 10 years I have been expected to work as and when required, and be available 24/7.

I get a decent salary, and my working patterns are flexible so if I work a Sat or Sun or have a very late evening, I'll balance it up somewhere in the month/year. I don't get recompensed for inconvenience.

It's what many people in the private sector do all the time.
