That might be just a UK opt out.

No it’s ‘Opting Out’ of the Working Time Regualtions which as a default are given to employees in the EU to protect them from being forced to work 48 hours per week. 

If an individual wishes to ‘opt out’ there is a mechanism for this (even a template contained within the WTR) and its for everyone in the EU, not a UK only option.

We have wholetime who do retained in the same county,(dual contract) , and Wholetime in one brigade doing retained cover in other brigades, depending where they live.

Both have there merits, and the working time directive don't really stop people doing the job as far as I know.
