Looking for some advice, I have two contracts at work- one permanent 21 hour post and one temporary 15 hour post. Both posts in same base, doing same job. I recently agreed to do overtime and was told I would be paid overtime rate for each hour I worked over 37 a week. I agreed to do a few hours- more as a favour as it was an emergency situation where cover was required. I worked an additional 13 hours each week (meaning I would get paid normal rate for the first hour and then o/t rate for following 12) just checked my payslip and I'm at normal rate for all my hours !! Obviously this has made my pay a lot less than I was anticipating! Called hr who were very unsympathetic and said it's because my total weekly hours are split into the two contracts, therefor I did not work over 37 hours a week (I worked 48!!)
Is it worth pursuing? As in I was told I would get o/t rate and may not have agreed to doing as many if I knew I would be on basic rate? My colleague who has 35hr week permanent contract was paid correctly for her additional hours.
