Overtime payment problems

Zandoni

I'd have a chat to your store mangager, he at least owes you the time off in lieu.

This might be of use

Personally I wouldn't ask for the time off in lieu. If they don't want to pay overtime in future they should simply stop giving you the extra hours but still pay you for work done.

But it does say in your link...

Your employer is not allowed to make a deduction from your pay or wages unless:

• it is to recover an earlier overpayment of wages or expenses

It's not an overpayment if the OP did the work

As already said ^^^.

From what ops saying he has done the work and therefore should be paid for it.

It also says they cannot make deductions of more than 10% of his wage unlss he is leaving his job. Assuming he is paid about £6 per hour and has not mentioned he is in his notice period, this works out at 25%.

Hi there,
I work part-time for a large UK supermarket chain.

I do 16hrs a week contracted and 4hrs overtime.

The 16hrs are all worked on the Delicatessen, and the 4hrs on Stock control.

This month upon recieving my Pay slip I have been deducted £94.
After bringing this to my manager on Stock Control's attention it has emerged that is "reclaimed overtime pay".

Apparently I worked "too much" overtime, so they have reclaimed it.
This seems a bit odd to me...

Do I have any recourse, or is this standard practice in the retail industry.

Thanks
Steve

hi i also work for a large supermarket company go see your personel manager and if you dont get any joy go see your union even if your not in the union they can give you advice,and they arnt allowed to just take it out your wages,if the overtime wasnt authorised the manager should of told you you couldnt do it this wk or asked you to take the time back its the manager who asked you to work not your fault
