I have been owed some overtime for work I did a year ago, but didn't put my claim form in until the invoice had been paid. I actually didn't really consider the timing of the payment (have been emailing payroll for past 6 months to check funds in). Anyway, I finally submitted OT form and have been paid £2000. However, I have realised this has coincided with the period when mat pay is calculated. I don't normally do OT, I am a bit worried this will look fraudulent. To complicate things slightly, I have not been paid from the usual budget code, but directly from this invoice (which also bought income into the service, as we were paid around £12000 for the work I did but I only claimed £2000), however, the money was paid with my normal pay.
Also, my line manager wasn't involved in this, as this was work I did for the director of the team and so he signed my time sheet and so a different budget was used. She wasn't aware of the work (she's only been there a year), so wasn't involved with any of this (although I'm not sure my pay would be flagged up asI think the lead of the service gets the overall budget statement from my dept and she prob wouldn't notice. I think I will be getting £400 more for 2 months and then £200 for 4 months.
Am I worrying too much? (pregnancy hormones!)
