It's just the same, until you do over 10 then it drops! Unless it's scheduled attendance or your doing a sunday

If you are part time then your initial overtime taking you up to a total of 37 hours is paid at SSPR. That rate includes any supplements paid in your office, ie Delivery Supplment. So for your first 37 hours a week you are paid a set amount per hour. Standard hourly rate plus supplements = SSPR.

After 37 hours you should be paid at the "1st 10 hours" rate which doesn't include any supplements - this rate is around 12p an hour more than the standard hourly rate (that is the hourly rate without any supplements) but lower than the hourly rate for the first 37 hours.

Beyond the "1st 10 hour rate", so upwards of 47 hours, the hourly rate is less than the standard hourly rate and has no supplments.

I can't give you the answer in £ as your hourly rate is probably different from mine. But the more to do, the less you get.
