Just thinking about it, sounds as if it would be good if we had a
nation-wide formula from our specialty as to when this should take place,
how much should be paid, etc. This will prevent pressure being
inappropriately exerted, people getting over-used or under-paid. Formula
could cause an escalation of pay the more frequently a department needs
cover or the more hours it has covered - this should reduce abuse...
Meanwhile, anyone out there who has other arrangements to compare?

I didn't, it was in place when I was appointed. I think it was originally
created with good intent. Its not really a bad rate if you are just acting
down once in a blue moon. When it becomes a way of meeting a target, that's
when it sticks in the throat!!

--> Honest question:
The second statement of yours above sounds VERY true to me. So why did you
agree to the first?
