We dont have a sheet we just tell the manager the day after. Not sure how true it is but today when I claimed for yesterday he said no more overtime is being paid out until the new financial year so I won't be doing any until then.

Given the email on Friday it may be true about not paying OT till the new financial year, because the system keeps cocking up. However, the new financial year is only 3 weeks away so not sure why it would be official policy, and entirely illegal. If you work it you should be paid for it, if not its illegal withholding of wages.

I normally tell the guy doing the balance of staff and he double checks it with the dom who (normally) plays fair and signs it off. However i often get some of it as presure and some as SA :hmmmm
