Thoughts on being told to stay on the phones to finish time and if you get a call, you have to stay late and not get paid?

As said above I finish at 5 and we are told we have to stay available to 5, we can not transfer the call to someone on the late shift, I said to my boss the other day what if I get a call at 4:59 or 5 and then have to stay late? Are average calls are about half an hour, so I said if I stay half an hour late or more, do I get paid for that overtime, they said no but it is a sale towards your target so why would you not want to stay late? And that helps you, Also I could be with the customer for up to an hour just to give them a quote… and leave an hour late not getting paid, and we do not even earn commission by getting the sale, just goes towards targets, that might get us…
