My department has just got a new manager who has now decided that any overtime worked most be done on a bank contract. Obviously this means that any fulltime staff will automatically lose the time and a half for OT plus any p/t staff who go over 37.5 hrs will lose it as well. I was always under the impression that bank staff were paid on the lowest increment point so basically some of my colleagues who are paid a bloody pittance as it is will end up doing their normal job for a lower hourly rate and no OT enchancement. Can our boss actually do this?
I personally don't do extra shifts and take the on average 3 hours a week I work over as the occasional afternoon off.
