overtime

There is current national policy of no overtime to be paid on Saturday & Monday while the current trial is ongoing. Three more weekends including this coming weekend then we go back to doing the job properly I think.
There is not a national no overtime policy for the remaining days of the week. There is not a reason to not pay overtime if it is required to clear the mail backlog in a DO. Maybe its a case of the DOM trying to preserve or increase their bonus.

There's no overtime paid on delivery if you go over your time, there's still overtime if they want you to work rest days.

Well you know that's not enforceable, there's no banking of hours

Seems to be OT here if you’re PT and doing a FT round, you get the hours up to full time but no extra on top.

The usual few get as much as they want up here, I guess it all comes down to staffing levels in each individual offices.

No ot on Monday? That's a laugh. Regularly claiming 2hrs Monday to catch up packets left on Saturday plus 2days mail. Busiest day of the week.

Who's bright idea was it to accept a one off payment years ago and then get paid less per hour for doing overtime past full-time hours where you get paid upto 20-25% less per hour making a 7hr rest day working only actually pay you 5:5 hours.
This is the only job where you get paid less for doing overtime....what's the logic in that....some of the ghosting probably makes up for this but still...... should we not at least be paid our hourly rate for any overtime this subject never seems to come up?
