Q - Overtime

Post by Stella102 »

Ok here is the scenario:

You do your normal round then get asked to do another round that day which normally takes 4 1/2 hours. You finish early, do you claim the whole 4 1/2 or the 3 that it took you?

You book what you agreed before you started.
If you didn't have an agreement beforehand book what it took you.
Next time make the deal then do the O.T.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

you claim what the duty is.if you took 5.30 hours to do the overtime you would book extended
or do you do it for nothing,always claim the full hourage.

so daveyeff
if your duty times are 8.50 and say you start at 6.00am and do overtime 1/2 duty
this makes you a finishing time of 19.15 a bit dark in it.

They must be saving thousands with Park & Loop in our office, because the other day one of the bosses authorised payment of 6 hours o/t for two bags of a cut off :crazy:

if the manager knows that he/she cant find anyone else to do it then they'll pay out more, otherwise they have to do it themselves for free
