Overtime
OK so at this time of year they want you to work your day off even though in reality you need your day off more than ever because everyday is mental.So why on earth is there no overtime rate as soon as you go above your normal hours!!.so they try and pressure you to working it but it's not worth it..or is there a higher rate?

Re: Overtime
It's definitely not worth it, if you aren't going to get your 8+ hours overtime for each month in a qualifying period for holiday pay reflecting your overtime.
If they want "sporadic" overtime claimers to stay out and complete, they should offer them double rate overtime, which is effectively what the regular overtimers now get if they qualify for extra holiday pay.

Re: Overtime
I really can’t believe what we earn for an hours overtime. It is embarrassing. I will never do ot for what we get after tax. Im sure I’d go a long way to find a grown adult on less money per hour for a back breaking energetic job.

Re: Overtime
Then they say, but we will pay you at SA rate! Which is only 33p more than the normal overtime rate.

Re: Overtime
Double? Really? Think your maths is out there. You get it paid, and rightly so, for 4 weeks when you're on holiday.IloveMYredTROLLEY! wrote: ↑11 Dec 2021, 15:21It's definitely not worth it, if you aren't going to get your 8+ hours overtime for each month in a qualifying period for holiday pay reflecting your overtime.

Re: Overtime
The hrs overtime worked in December DO count towards your overall payment. The pass bit just means you don't HAVE to do the 8 hrs min (ironically as it's the one month you'd have no problems doing it).world class male wrote: ↑11 Dec 2021, 19:30i already know i won't qualify for the next uncle terry holiday scam, but was lead to believe that december hours actually worked add to the sum paidworktotime wrote: ↑11 Dec 2021, 16:54and remember this month December isnt included in your 6 month average holiday as its a pass , so i wouldnt go killing yourself to drag the company out the s**t , and its another great part of the holiday pay agreement.
