What does that mean exactly.... no extended delivery? Or no payments for extended delivery.

It is illegal not to pay overtime when you have done the hours for it.

30 minutes is all they can ask for and that must be repaid that same week but all you have to say is you have something to do after work and you cannot work over your time (kids are good for something :wink: ).

30mins flexibility if introduced by management, its up to you when you have it back in the week.....i.e. finish 30mins early on saturday.
Flexibility works both ways.....try and ask that you will be finishing 30mins earlier on this thursday and that you are willing to do extra 30mins work on friday....watch the DIMs scratch their heads and not understand the word FLEXIBILITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't need to give a reason for my not being avaliable.
they ask, i say no.
i am not required to excuse myself from extra work and i'll be a long time dead before i do.

why should i give a reason ?
am i dishonest ?
am i obliged to ?
