depends on your office so impossible to give a definitive answer, best to ask the guys in your DO, some offices always have OT going some never have any

It's not a silly question Terry. The silly thing is to do it and trust that you are getting paid for it. KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR WAGES!

I do nearly every week it's short I just go into office with my dates with times and duties preformed and then it's paid the following week. It's a bit of a pain but if I have worked I expect to be paid

Plenty OT on offer. Hard part is getting paid your correct hours.
