It is then questioned by management on the fourth occasion and a charge of claiming the previous overtime is made as they are now saying I'm not entitled to it. I may have been in the wrong but surely by them signing it off and paying it, they are at fault for allowing it to happen?
could you clarify something,

are you:

A working over your contracted hours ie in excess of 7hr48 per day and claiming OT(or over your part time hours and same)

or

B on rehab plan of 5 hours per day but on ft or pt contract with more hours, then working 6 and claiming 1 hr ot for the excess over 5 hours
B.......ft on a rehab of 6 hrs per day, instead of 06.30 until 14.30, was on 08.30 until 14.30 but worked an hour over three times
ok they may be at fault slightly for letting you claim the OT but it probably wont get you off in the slightest, but what you have done could easily be classed as fraud, so i would be very very careful about it this, and recommend speaking to your rep and or area rep asap, if i were you i would be apologising and offering to work back the time as soon as you can, and try to get any action stopped before it becomes a big issue

Regardless of what should have happened what you have done is borderline fraud, you should be looking to make amends rather than shift blame or by making out you were only trying to help out,

Anyone know if you can or should be scheduling OT when on Ocupational Health referral?
Ie working your full hours but on light duties.
Or just claiming to have a bad back / sore feet etc

& what is “pre-scheduled overtime”? is that SA?

Can you take an SA if your on light / amended duties? (working full hrs)?
