    I've just become a Body Shop at home consultant as well as my 30 hours a week job. I want to get the credit card paid off totally and Body Shop pay pretty well!
    I'm loving it! It combines my love of skincare, make up and meeting people AND it'll bring in more income.

    Hi Linda what kind of time commitment a week is that?

    I try and get at least one overtime a month, it normally equates to between £100 £150 after tax, makes a big difference really. I don't have one coming at the end of this month, but we are on PRP so this year I will have a £400 bonus to look forward to at some point. I'm a bit like a kid really, but instead of saying 'are we there yet?', I say 'can I do overtime this weekend?!'

    Afternoon

    Just back in from 2nd job, having clocked up another 5 hrs and a free roast dinner.

    I sent in my timesheets last weekend, from Dec - present date so should expect a nice little amount come the end of April! Not sure the bosses will love me as it will come out of this years budget!!! Oooooops!

    Hi folks
    I am in a weird position that as a manager I shouldn't work overtime -but at times we need staff to be on the floor an sometimes that needs to be me!

    When I have manager's head on I can't afford myself but!! my cc statements say I need the work! - WHAT TO DO?

    I too am a manager, and if I do anything above my 37 hrs per week I get paid at a rate slightly lower than my basic manager hourly rate - doesn't seem fair to be paid less for any extra hours but such is life.

    I say do the overtime and don't worry about your staffing budget one jot!!!

    Hello all can I join?? I think its testament to how much overtime Ive been doing that i never saw this thread before!

    Well my overtime isnt so much overtime as standby and callout. The rota has been made up 3 months in advance and I know I have 2 weekends and 10 nights to do. each should realise about £50... and I already have £250 under my belt.

    The good thing is - I dont have to claim it til I want it. THe bad thing is I need it - like yesterday! I tihnk Iwill claim in £250 chunks so it doesnt get frittered. First target, pay off £500 I owe friend for bailing me out with house problem.
