I bet the only people who are "making" hours are those who have yet to have their P&L revision. :d'oh!

Yes I agree it is.
but if i only specified paid?
people whos goodwill causes them to go 20mins over some days wouldnt get counted.
how many book every 15 min ?
and the part timers we often hear about pressured into doing way more than their hours.
for fear of losing job or wanting to impress because vain hope of full time place.
they therfore do not book everything?

the more detail the question often the more complicated the poll. :hmmmm

It might have been worth expanding that poll, for FT and PT options, as I could see PTers being happier to do o/t while I could perfectly understand FTers not wanting to. I regularly work 32-40 hours a week (claiming and getting paid for each 5 minute block of work I do, RM is not a charity), despite being on a 22.5 hour contract.

noted:
but maybe not this week! polls are great in moderation.
to many and people tire of them.
