Overtime Issues

[Luke]

Does anyone on here that works overtime but has problems been paid for it?

In total, I worked 40 hours overtime and been paid 17 hours of it. I spoke to our manager the last week, he told me all the money I was owed will be in my account this coming payday but received my wage slip and been paid for ONLY 6 hours when I'm owed another 23 hours.

Sick of this now, relying on the money for christmas presents, going down to Mikes house and my service this month.

Our Financial Controller is getting an e-mail from me later, he his the one who should authorise all this.

Rant over!

[jmt84]

yeah our company took overtime away and introduced "flexible working" which means you bank hours to use as time off instead. f**king rubbish would much rather have cash than a day off!

[Danr]

That's a nightmare Luke mate. It's never good not getting the money you are owed.

I personally don't get overtime pay even if i work late so never affects me.

[Chris]

I get a Salary, so don't get paid O/T..... I start work at 7:30 most days and finish at 5, plus I very rarely have a lunch break.... so that's 2.5 hours each day I don't get paid for............................. Oh Well!!

Chris :)

[Robb]

Haha yes. My problem is I rack up probably about 30-45 minutes at least every day of overtime and get paid fuck all for it.

If I leave at 5.30, which is when Im legally contracted to do, I still get 'part time' shouts....

Lol stupid eh.

It's just annoying as in this kind of job - I need to do overtime and I'd like to paid what I'm owed.

[VTR-Chris]

i get paid 24 hours 7 days a week regardless of if i work over normal working hours

u dont have it as bad as you think.

[Robb]

I basically work through my lunch too. If people can see Im clearly eating my lunch at my desk they will come over especially and ask me to do things. Then if I say 'ok give us a sec, just eating this' they get annoyed. Makes me wanna launch them out the window.

[VTR-Chris]

im paid a flat rate of £47 per day 7 days a week

some days ill work 8 hours

other days ive worked 20 odd hours...

bit shit really

[Luke]

What do you do for a job Robb?

That also annoys me too - I'll sit at my desk eating my lunch, but on the internet - phonecall will come 'Luke, can you take this?

[kristel10589]

yep we got problems at our work too. I think i only got £20 quid overtime this month so i'm about £130 short!!! Could really do with the money for xmas aswell :wall:

[Ashleyp]

i get this all the time

they missed a full 2 weeks wages off my pay

i went to the manager, nothing was done, they kept saying it would be in next months pay

started writing to head office, it was only on the 5th letter that they decided to contact me and pay me!!!! and that was only because i threatened legal action

pisses me off so much, i write down all my hours (overtime) and make sure each week im put onto the system, you shouldnt get this much hassle with work!

[Luke]

Good idea Ashley....I have a spreadsheet here, with ALL e-mails stating what I have done too.

[Giggz]

Yup but we're only a small company like 8-10 of us.

It gets paid but usually its a few week later.

[Robb]

Im an Account Manager...Basically Sales. Sometimes it can be in my interest to stay behind, the other day I completed a deal making the company about £1-2k at like 6PM, so tidy profit and decent commission for me.

Oh wait I dont even get paid comission haha. Why do I bother?

[Clouds_mate]

Aslong as my overtime form is in before the deadline i never have a problem.

Sucks to be you ;)

[Clouds_mate]

Just remembered I'm working over tonight.

7.30 till 6 - Loooooong day.

For the pence i get paid id rather not work overtime.

[Luke]

Lol sounds quite interesting though.

I'm also working late, 6.30 but I guess I'll get paid for in time for next christmas.

[Pat_Vts]

lol, yeah, hate being at work because its tiring etc

get time off and dont know what to do with yourself

[Jackman]

I'm yet to have a problem with my overtime.

I always keep note of the hours i do and check it when i get my pay packet.

So far so god!

[Robb]

Think Im gonna start making note of how much overtime I do each day.

Everyone else I know who works, gets serious credit from there managers for doing overtime and gets overtime pay/time and a half pay... I get neither.

[Garry_T]

where i work has banned over time due to the creddit crunch but has just employed 4 new people hmm dodgey if you ask me !!!!!

[AdamW]

Before all this 'recession' shit I was king of the OT in our office.

Instead of being sat at home I was in work till gone 8pm most nights and saturday mornings. Racked up like 63hours in one month and took home 2.5k after tax. Loved it. But was tiring.

[Luke]

Yeah, that's only problem - tiring.

We told overtime is on for the time being due to our year end soon, then the buggers don't pay us.

[Robb]

Easy for you Adam, imagine doing a few hours overtime....then having to drive an hour to get home.....to get home to a nagging girlfriend..... and not even being paid for overtime in the first place lol.

[AdamW]

Try hitting her lol

[ne_jam]

i wouldnt work over for no pay , fuk that or work threw my dinner, if people call you a part timer call them a brown nose !!

[Clouds_mate]

I dont find it tiring. I dont mind once im here. Its the getting up on a morning knowing you have a long day ahead.

This morning alarm went off, i got up and was ready, then realised i was getting home till gone 6 so i curled back up in bed and ended up sleeping in lol.

[Barry123]

they've probably just factored in all the hours you waste on saxop...

[Robb]

My radio alarm went off this morning. Cant remember anything that was on but I have Wheetus - Just A Little Respect stuck in my head.

Then I got my wake up call. Which got me out of bed. Was gonna try and answer and scream but I was too slow.

[wilksey]

I don't get payed over time either all I get is hours to be banked and used at a later date, which to be honest is good. Gives me time for myself more I find I'd rather have a few hours to spend with my saxo than if I got an extra fiver here and there

[Luke]

Just had a word with the payroll manager, it's all the recent stuff I have been paid but not the old August overtime so least I know what I'm owed now.

[5AMBO]

i work 40 hours extra a week and get paid no overtime!!!!

[SaxoLuverShane]

I have a similar problem

I worked overtime, assured that I will be payed time and a half for it, I managed to clock up a full weeks worth of overtime up, then, because it was exactly a week, the A.Manager keeps trying to get me to take a week off, yet I still have all my holiday to take anyway, I made my opinion clear that I am having the money, not a week off, which they seem to have accepted now, but they then use the line "We are over budget for staff pay, just wait a month or two till the wages bill falls" .. this was four months ago.. Still waiting now!

Going to have a final word with the manager and if nothing comes of it, I will ring up the area manager directly =/

[grant_evans]

that takes te piss!! who do you work for?

[kenny]

we dont get overtime here unless someone calls in sick. the only way to get overtime is to change departments which i have doe and racked up a good few extra hours. it will be 48hours work since monday till 8pm tonight.

still got plenty extra hours to do aswel :y:

[alex19]

/Still trying to find job.

[Luke]

that takes te piss!! who do you work for?

A global design, engineering company.

[Mieran]

Last month I got paid for overtime hours which I didn't do :S

I worked 150 hours but got paid for 156 :D

[scottyvtr]

yeah our company took overtime away and introduced "flexible working" which means you bank hours to use as time off instead. f**king rubbish would much rather have cash than a day off!

my work has this but its called Time Off In Liue (toil) but most of us say no cash , no work and usually by stopping time if there is a prob it a case of ok we will pay you!!!

[Marcos]
