Not paid enough OT

Post by andy3665 »

Has anyone else not been paid enough overtime for working over Xmas? I did 24 hours OT and have only been paid for 15!!!!!

Is there a reason anyone can think of or are they trying to stiff me?

I think for last week, the overtime is always screwed cos the payroll people go on xmas break earlier than we do.

I haven't been paid any overtime for last 2 weeks, so am owed a fair bit now. Gona be fun trying to chase that.

I NEVER get paid the right overtime, but supposedley the excuse for xmas is that there was a ''cut off on weds and any O.T. booked after that will be on next weeks payslip.''

Believe it when I see it, good job I keep a record of it

The bulk of overtime performed in week commencing 17th December will be paid in the following week as usual, with the remainder following in the next available pay period.

I keep a record of all my overtime in that little CWU diary they give you. The bastards aint stiffing me! Funniest thing is when you go in the wages office to clear it with the wages pitbull. She snarls and she growls as if it was her own money, all I want is what I'm owed!

I got the overtime for the week beginning 10/12 but have just opened todays payslip to find nothing (should have been around 15hrs)

Very much doubt I'm the only one in my office, middle of last week Dom was out so our PHG answered the phone to one of the higher ups and received a massive bollocking about the amount of overtime the office had booked.
As a result we figured we'd probably see half today and half next week, to get nothing is a joke.

been with RM for 18months and this is the first time i've not got my OT
Me in Doms office tomorrow morning---> :evil/mad

Ditto. - paid flat 3 x days - work 4 most weeks and then OT on top. Have started writing it all down in a diary. How can anyone budget when it's wrong so often. Trying not to get too annoyed but it kinda gnaws away at you.
