Can anyone tell me what the various types of overtime mean?

If you go over because there was an avalanche of parcels is that pressure overtime or extended delivery?

What if you do additional work in addition to your frame? What kind of overtime is that?

Or if you go in early to help throw in?

going over at the end of your delivery goes down as EXCESS , if you go in before your start time as asked to do sorting down as IPS , and if they ask you to come in before your time to prep your own goes down as ADJUSTMENT , I hope this helps you.

Pressure over time IIRC is usually used at Christmas and other busy periods.

Basically, just use a single word (or two at a push - not a lot of space in that box) explaining why you're booking

The ones I usually use

Excess - Fairly self-explanatory, finished late because of excess mail.
IPS - I was asked to come in early to do extra IPS
Prep - I was asked to come in early to get a duty prepped
Lapsing - I would have finished on time but it was purely the lapsing took me over (Let's not start the if lapsing takes you over you shouldn't be doing it it's usually 15 mins max)
Grockles!! - (a regional term for holiday makers) being in a popular sea-side town the usual 10-15 minute drive out to some duties can more than double in the peak summer weeks
Breakdown - Again fairly self-explanatory, thankfully only used this once
