They did work out a salary for the Team Midwives in Mackay but that did not stop them from closing us down. We were all paid as level two so they said that it made us too expensive as there were too many level two's around. We worked some call (nights) and flexi time so there was never any overtime or call fees. Had some aggro from the core midwives as they were not level two but then most of them did not take on any of the extra responsability that we did and a large proportion of the core staff were ones who only wanted to come to work, not get stretched too far so stay in the AN PN ward and collect the pay. Forget all about it when you go home. All were given an opportunity to be on a team from the beginning. Cheers Judy
