I believe they get paid for the work they would have done if they time out.

Also, it may not be the money. It could also be a desire to rest, especially if it was a CO crew. I had a CO crew on a transcon get really excited when we took an ATC delay and vectored close to arrival. They were hoping to get out of their next flight (another transcon) and sleep in a hotel bed.
