+1Everyone gets paid their expected base salary which comes down to their qualification & experience.
My base is no different to working my position in melbourne.
The difference in fifo is if your roster means 30% extra hours you get paid extra 30%
However like all other jobs, if I work beyond my contract hours I don't get paid any over time. (13/14hr days against my 12hr roster)
You do get an extra couple of thousand dollars for living away from home compensation but it's small change
