Actually I think that the rotating bid groups are a very good idea to retain people, as they benefit a lot more people than they don't. It's ok if you are senior to have a fixed system, but I thinks it's nice to give everyone a crack at a good roster, thats if the system isn't played around with tho.
Another thought I had that was mentioned was that when you reach the overtime limit you should get your OT hourly pay + your 35/45 dhs/hour as well.
As I said before this raise will just about cover the 20-25% inflation in Dxb over the last year to 18 months.
