Understanding my overtime payment

Post by Chichi »

Hi All,
Sorry if this has been asked previously but I am unsure how my overtime have been calculated.

On wage slip, it states Overtime @SSPR 13.31 hours but the paid amount is not at the " hourly rate x 1.25".

How can I get in touch with the payroll department or who can I contact as I am a new staff.

Thank you in advance for your help.

SSPR is "As if you worked normal fulltime" between 30 hours and fulltime.

It did not trigger your 1.25x, that's after 40 hours.

Thanks for your reply. However, I am on a 30hr contract and these 13.31hrs is over the contract hours.
So, I don't understand what rate is being used because the 13.31 hour is not adding up.

How can I contact the payroll department, please?
Thanks

I take it you've got the people app as you've viewed your wage slip, if you scroll down right at the bottom is a help tile where you can ask them questions.

I don't understand though, I'd have thought your wage should have shown 10 hours at sspr and 3.31 at £15.68 (£12.54 x 1.25)

Monthly pay might be averaging it out. Don't know for sure though.

I wondered about that, pretty sure someone posted on here their contract is x number of hours per year divided by 12 so who knows ?

Bloody new contracts :arrrghhh

Yeah, from top to bottom, the new contracts are just f***ing harsh.

If this whole takeover really upgrades everyone to "legacy" contracts, I'll honestly take that as a minor win. At the least, our newbies will have cause to join the union for the future fights, and if not, they get screwed over less.
