Thing about the $40 a day more is most of it will likely get taxed away.
I ended up working on a project fire in the far north, 10 hour days for 21 days. My cheque wasnt much more than my regular 2 week pay. So that was the end of that for me.
yeah because overtime is taxed at a higher rate. I did that once, 3 weeks of 12-16 hour shifts, nearly twice the number of hours worked, made 300 bucks more than normal because the tax rate went way up.
