It appaers that my office wants to press gang staff to work sundays, but the hourly rate of pay is not double bubble, firstly why not, and secondly, what is the pay rate for working sundays? as funny enough the DOM is not sure either.

All prescheduled Xmas overtime is to be paid at SA rate (national agreement) I am not sure what this is but it is more than normal overtime rates.

Before our so called pay rise it used to be £10.66 an hour for Sundays
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

OVERTIME and SCHEDULED ATTENDANCE
Overtime and Scheduled Attendance will be paid at standard non-pensionable cash rates per hour. These rates will not vary according to the time of day or day of the week, except for higher rates on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

Enhanced rates for SA will continue to reflect the benefits of stable and reliable cover. These will only be paid where the conditions of the existing national agreement are met (i.e. each attendance is scheduled to a nominated employee and substitute for the year, and is paid on the basis of hours actually worked, excluding breaks except on Sundays). SA will be limited to no more than 12 hours per employee in any week. Where this necessitates a review of local SA arrangements this must be completed by the implementation date.

The new adult rates (with overtime rates for employees aged 16 and 17 increased to 87.5% of these adult rates) from the date of introduction will be as follows, at 1999 rates:


Monday-Saturday: overtime £7.05 per hour (for the first 10 hours during a week)
overtime £6.81 per hour (for hours worked over 10 per week)
SA £8.50 per hour
Sunday overtime £9.50 per hour SA £9.90 per hour
Bank and Public Holiday overtime £11.73 per hour
(alternatively a day off in lieu plus payment of £7.04 per hour may be taken for Holiday attendances of more than 2 hours).
Travelling Time £6.07 per hour
Sunday overtime and SA will remain pensionable for two years after 8 May 2000. In order to protect the pension position of employees who are aged 57 or over on 6 May 2002, these employees will retain pensionability of Sunday overtime and SA, on a personal reserved rights basis, until age 60 (or the age at which they take their pension if later). The facility within existing pension rules to base final salary on the best three consecutive years out of the last ten will provide some mark-time protection to employees aged over 50.
- So although the figures are 8 years out of date it does show that even with SA Sunday working is a different rate.

It's £10.83 ph now, or at least it is in Inner London.
They call it 'double time' but it's only a few pence more than our normal hourly rate. :sad:

Well the answer is simple..................work out a deal with the DOM that you work 4 hours and get paid for 8, that way you get double time and if they don't want to pay it then you don't work it :Very Happy

You may be right but everything that comes from management must be in writing :Very Happy , that said, I'll not be doing any OT this year because they don't deserve any goodwill from me :wink:
