overtime ban?

Post by apple »

When is a overtime ban not a overtime ban?

so we were told the office has to stick to budget, can claim max 30mins, anything over that then talk to manager, he then says you need to stream to finish with the 30 mins excess, the workload supports longer on delivery, the phrase is- we are only limiting overtime, I saw all the divisional reps and rod statement saying no overtime ban, so why when we have workload that would take us over, we are told only claim 30mins tracked first class stream to get back, how is that not a overtime ban? when we have enough workload to support going over more than 30mins?

Funny how workers doing work to rule and not doing overtime is considered unofficial industrial action from the point of view of the company and not allowed. But when the company bans overtime, it's completely okay.

The company should be held to account on this.

Correct. Not a peep from the union about it all either.
We are a trial office and ovetime wasn’t an issue since last April now nothing. Work building up and people not receiving a service they are paying for. Its theft in my eyes. Taking money for a service you deliberately and knowingly will not carry out.
