Amazing aint it. In some areas people are getting harassed and abused for working to their hours. ie. The management expect overtime to be done in order to complete. In other areas the overtime has dried up. What does this mean as far as BT2010 is concerned which states that the opportunity for SA and overtime is a key consideration in the revision process.

Thanks, yes the MC was what the "somewhere" was about in my original post. Unfortunately the mail centre I used to go to has either shut or is shutting so every time I ask about OT now the answer is 'No' you can also add some 'rules' the DOM has instigated that makes/made going to a MC almost impossible.

What can you do???? I used to do about 100 hours OT over the Christmas period this year.... zilch! Since January 1st I've done a total of 19 hours OT mainly working my rest days. I'm pretty desperate but as I said what can you do??

10 years ago this company had more than 100 people taking (can't say earning cos they don't earn it) over £100.000 a year.

Just hugely frustrating when it comes to OT really. DOM has implemented new rules regarding 'out of office' OT and along with that cut the hours for 'in office' OT i.e (from memory) belated's paid at 6 1/2 hrs, Rest days 7hrs
