    Personal fillings I believe you should.
    It was not your fault you got stuck down there so you should get overtime.

    Hi,
    Are you an underground miner now?
    That would be a good question for your employer.
    If not, I really don't think anyone in a "cave-in", not able to get back out, without a lot of help, would be thinking about "overtime". They would be thinking about trying to save their life, and not dying.
    I do know from experience of others that some compensation is paid, but do not know if it's classified as "overtime" pay.
