Basically, do you have to work overtime during your probation period?

No one has to do overtime ever.

But RM managers like to take advantage of newbies trying to impress them - so they'll all but expect you to do it.

Basically, until you learn everything you need to know in the job and until your body adjusts to the reality of the job, you will go over your contracted hours for the first 2-3 months at least, even if you don`t need the extra money.

Don`t forget to book any overtime you do, don`t work for free and take your break.
