Not long been at current job and am being moved around a bit now. Every Monday it takes me longer to do my job as it's new and takes a day or 2 to get a feel for it and sort it out properly.
My contract is for 25 hours a week but part of the terms is "as required a reasonable amount of over time may be needed to meet the expectations of customers".
Today I was 30 mins over, yesterday was 2 hours, put down yesterdays overtime as no one was around to say no when filling out the sheet. Asked for the overtime today got told to come in later tomorrow. Tomorrow will mean I start at 8:30 but finish at 1:30 so the half hour shouldn't be needed then. That also means I won't get the 30 minutes today just means I shouldn't need it tomorrow.
The actual qoute from my contract...
"Responsibility of providing a public service. This puts a special obligation on all employees to play their part in maintaining the kind of service that the public has a right to expect. The nature of the service makes a measure of overtime working necessary. For this reason, it is a condition of your employment that you are liable to work overtime and to attend at varying times on any day (including weekends, Bank and Public Holidays) as the needs of the service demand. Overtime pay will be assessed in accordance with your business units pay directive, which you can gain access to by contacting your Manager".
I don't have an issue with OT as such when I am asked and get paid for it, not when I get fobbed off with excuses. Several times now I have worked 2 hours past my finish time and have not been paid for it.
Every week being changed this is going to be a regular thing, I shouldn't have to work for free basically.
