Afternoon STW.
Just a quick work related question, as I can't work out my overtime entitlement at work.
My companies overtime policy is as follows -
- Any overtime worked between 6am and 10pm can be claimed back via hours in lieu
- Any overtime worked between 10pm and 6am will be paid back at 1.5 x time
My contracted day is 7.5 hours.
So if i work a nightshift which goes from 8pm - 6am, what exactly am i entitled to?
This might just be me thinking too much about it, but I can't work it out.
Thanks in advance!
2.5 hours at x 1.5
2.5 hours,less breaks, at x 1.5
If it's shift work then I would hazard a guess that your 8pm - 6am is paid at standard time (with a 30 minute break thrown in). Any ADDITIONAL hours will be in lieu or as paid overtime depending on the time of day. Or night. Do you get a shift allowance?
Cheers guys.. My initial thought was the same. But wanted it clearing up
Is it a proper nightshift, or just you working late?
A nightshift isn't overtime, it's a night shift. I would have thought there would be a pre-agreed rate.
Slowoldman - I don't usually work shifts at all, we had a project at work meaning I had to work a stint of nightshifts.. Hence it being an unusual thing for me to work out.
In that case, your 7.5 hours will be paid as normal, and you will claim 2.5hr @ 1.5x rate.
Less breaks etc.

Surely the correct thing to do was ask at the time you were asked, and ask the person 'responsible' for authorising your pay.
Anything else is irrelevant...
