At the top tier it's $950 for a 12 hour shift, and $630 for an 8 hour shift. And as pointed out, it wouldn't be OT on a regular shift.


Not sure how a 6 figure salary is excessive for having to work shift work, having to deal with hazardous materials, and a likely risk of injury/death...
I don't know how you did the math. 54k a year works out to be about $27/hour (approximately 2000 working hours in a year). So a 12 hour shift would be $324, and an 8 hour shift would be $216.
