Probably because the national agreement (posted on here) says we get a minimum of 3p per item but more importantly that we get 3 days to deliver them - so their argument and one which I would not accept is that if you delivered them in 1 day that was your choice and you were not authorised OT.

However see your rep and see if you could argue against it if you have a pattern of finishing around the same time and being OK OT payments.
