Working out overtime

Ali831 · Post by **Ali831** » 03 Oct 2019, 17:06

Hi, I'm a newbie just a few weeks in on a 35hr contract. Can someone please confirm is overtime paid in arrears?
So if I work extra w/c 23rd Sept for example should that have been in my payslip today i.e.3rd October?
Or is there a cut off day for overtime, so if I work extra on the friday or Saturday of that week would that have missed today's pay & actually be in next weeks wages?
The reason is I am missing several hours & have been logging everything as advised to do. I must admit this site has been a godsend. Enjoying the job so far, long may it continue thanks in advance

Where I work the admin office are pretty efficient at getting all OT (worked the week before) into the pay system for payment the next week.

But there is a cut off time on the Monday (or might be Tuesday) by which it is too late and should be in the following weeks pay.

You will probably find this also happens when there is a bank holiday on the Monday.

Good call to keep a record of what extra you work - don't stand for 'I'll get round to it"

I take it you have registered your overtime on a docket each day you worked over

What is this overtime you speak of?we see none on our planet,

Yes a docket is completed and signed daily. As for my contract I must admit several colleagues have asked what contract I am on so I guess they are rare? quite a few of us were taken on at the same time with those hours.

Be persistent in chasing any missing overtime, don't be shy in coming forward, if you are in the union have a word with your rep

To answer your question. Your basic hours for w/c 23/9 would have been paid on Friday 27/9
On Friday 4/10 you would have been paid for basic hours w/c 30/9 and overtime from w/c 23/9. (The whole week Monday-Saturday)
