Pay For Hours Worked

SSadler · Post by **SSadler** » 16 Mar 2017, 17:50

Hi all,

I'm new to Royal Mail - so apologies if this seems a daft question....

I've been working around 35 hours a week for three weeks, although my contract is part-time at 27.5 hours per week.

The pay I've received so far is for exactly 27.5 hours each week.

This looks as though I will only get paid for 27.5 hours each week, regardless of whether I work 30, 40 or 50 hours.

Is this correct?

In short - do we get paid for the hours we actually work, or just the bare minimum of the stated contracted hours regardless of however many extra hours you put in?

Thanks :)

No you get paid overtime. Although it doesn't state it as overtime till you do over 39 hours. It should appear on your pay chit as SSPR.

Chase it if you haven't got it.

Hi and welcome to the madhouse :)

We are paid overtime for any hours worked above our contracted hours.
Overtime is paid a week in arrears.

is your manager aware you have been going over ? That would be your first port of call.

Thanks for the fast answer

It seems hard to get a proper answer from searching online and on my contract.

So I should be getting paid for 35 hours if that's what I worked? Even if I'm on a 27.5 hr contract?

If so then I'm happy with that! Just need to call payroll and find out what they owe me

This is what got me worried ... from an employee review site:

{"being Full Time,the pay is good

Being Part Time working the same hours as Full Time without being payed.Most managers get away with bullying

managers and CWU being the same"}

Is this guy wrong then?

2 people already told you that you have to tell your manager, not to call pay roll

All overtime needs to be approved and signed for by 9.30am each day before delivery. You need to ask for the pressure and absence sheets or whatever your office calls them. If you havnt written your overtime down you need to start keeping a record of it.

Taken from a similar job description: https://jobs.royalmailgroup.com/job/Lon ... 339214001/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Starting Salary

Age 17 £8.78 + 6 months +12 months
Age 18 £11.28 £11.91 £12.54

We also offer a weekly Delivery Functional Supplement of £23.96 (pro-rata) plus overtime and shift allowance if applicable.

If your contract is for 25 hours and you are 18 yo, you will get roughly £11.28 x 25 hours + £15.36 delivery supplement = £297.36
