You can have it every day at my place, 5 hours (a whole extra round) if you want it. It's not inconceivable you could do 60 hours as a part-timer, I know of a few who regularly do 45 hours. Oh well, not for me, thank you. I'll do it when it suits me and no time else.

and whether anything is paid is yet another matter, especially travelling expenses, many months in arrears for some of my colleagues, further fuelling speculation about RM's cash flow. :shock:

We have been told no more extended to be claimed.
Anyone who feels that they may have to go over,can no longer do so. They will have to cut off instead.
Quality of service, top of RM agenda i see. :evil/mad

No overtime allowed in our office under any circumstance!! If you go over your time you might be allowed to come in late the next day to crawl your time back!! Personally I will be cutting off... :coolr

Overtime is being cut back in one Office, no extending without permssion, even then they will flash traffic figure sat you to disuade you and intimate you are not working fast enough, intimidation and pressure, in some Offices if you come in one your day off to do your walk, some will pay 7hrs, 6.30 Hours, now one is only paying out 5 hours for a WHOLE walk, I wouldn't get out of bed for that, yet surprisingly some people do actually come in and do it, prep and delivery everything :shock: fools !

I had this problem, then started keepin accurate records of what was booked when, what colour sheet etc . Then presented the evidence to top dog and gently alluded to fraud being illegal, and unpaid work being illegal. Guess what? now the ot payments are as accurate as my own records.

What i'd really like to know is how people can physically do overtime ?

I'm knackered just doing my own duty.

Perhaps i'm getting old ?
