Re: Overtime allocation

Your contract of employment defines your hours.

There is no law that governs how your employer selects who can do overtime, provided they do not do so on the basis of one of the Equality Act protected characteristics.

Essentially, though, anyone who works in excess of their contracted hours is working overtime.

Why do you suggest that you may have such a right?

Re: Overtime allocation

OK Scott, so the additional thing you may need to think about is that there may be some provision about overtime in the part time workers contracts?
