I've worked at company for around 9 years. No issues, work done etc on a salary.
New boss arrived in January. A couple of weeks ago, I said I'll be in late because of dentist at 9, so will be in around 9:45. Just a heads up.
He says "that's fine. When will you make that time back up?
Me: "what do you mean?"
Boss: " the 45 minutes. When will you make that up?"
Me: "errr... I won't?"
Boss: "you have to. All time off needs to be made up"
Me: right, in that case then, all extra hours need to be time off in lieu of overtime then?
Boss: sounds fair.
Me: ok, when did this new policy start please?
Boss: Jan 1.
Me: ok. I'll submit my overtime then, I'll make up the 45 minutes when it's paid.
Boss: sure thing
Got him to email to confirm.
As soon as it came in I submitted 46 hours overtime, to be paid at x1.5 🤣🤣
He blew a gasket, complaining it would come from his budget etc I said "but that's the policy. Feel free to deduct 45 minutes,and then I won't make up the time.
I will now be working 9-5, no overtime, nothing!
