I cut my hours an agreement with my employer because I was worn out all the time... I have a full time contract so any extra hours [when I was not doing council business] was paid at normal 1.5x rate [yes some people only get 1.25x and salaried staff get nothing].
IN answer to Doug's very good point, many councillors receive a top up allowance so for their 16 hours [if they actually do them] a week they now get £10,500. I still maintain, going listening to officers, chipping in the odd idea, going back to residents and listening what they want and making a few phone calls is NOT work as I know it.
