Not been paid my weekly pay overtime!

amybroom

Ok spoke to payroll and noone got paid this week because the nhs courier didn't deliver our timesheets to payroll on time. So we all have to wait til next week because of someone else not doing their job properly. Grrr it's not the first time this has happened.

Now quit stalking me round this board eh?

I didn't mention an ET, I stated it was a technical breach, which it is however way you wish to view it in your own peculiar way.

Some people can have the vast majority of their wage made up of overtime, indeed, a friend of mine averages a 40 hour week on a 10 hour contract.

Don't tell me she is not reliant on overtime and having it paid on time. A week later can mean her bills are a week late, and then the consequences of that.

The OP simply needs to find out if her NHS authority is a faster payments member, mine is because I know so, and it is the 7th largest employer in the UK.

Now stop acting like a crazy person.

I've given my advice - its up to others whether they accept it, but what I will not acceopt are your continual and unnecessary personal insults. Any more and I will be reporting you.

There is an inference in a response from the OP that this is not an unusual occurance therefore should never rely on overtime payments.

Jarndyce is completely accurate. Unless guaranteed income it is highly unlikely that a mortgage could be obtained on overtime payments - particularly since the downfall of Northern Rock.

Working 40 hours overtime on a 10 hour contract - not unusual in some businesses as long as the pay to normal working week is at flat rate otherwise the employer would have everyone asking for a part-time contract.

Ok can I just say that I don't usually rely on overtime but seeing as I worked it last week. I knew I should have got paid today and that's why I was relying on it.

Oh get over it! I've been a member 3 long years before you and have come across your sort before-you just don't like being corrected.

In a previous post you essentially called me a stalker!

Pot, kettle...black?

Overtime is even often treated as basic pay when applying for a mortgage, that is how reliant some people are on it.

The above is what I intitially wrote, nowhere does the above statement suggest it is a matter of course.

Jarndyce had no reason to bring up the guarantee of overtime.

My point was that overtime is 'even often' treated as basic pay simply to highlight the importance to some people of overtime pay.

Regardless of what others are saying, I'd wager your NHS authority can make a payment into your account within 2 hours.

You also mention this happens regularly.

Now, if you can live with this slapdash approach then fine.

The bottom line is you do not have to put up with it, especially if it is causing financial problems.

A mistake is a mistake, a mistake regularly is negligence, raise a grievance.

I am not going to get into a lengthy debate on what you have written. My intention was only to point out that your comments were inaccurate and that since the bank issues they do not "often treat overtime as basic pay when applying for a mortgage".

Amybroom - I appreciate that you were only relying on overtime this week because you were expecting it and that this is not usually the case. It may be worthwhile you advising your payroll that you require this payment on this occasion and would ask that you have a bacs transfer asap. Alternatively you could also state you would expect the NHS to pay for any costs associated with the non payment ie bank charges etc, should they be incurred. You would need to provide evidence.

A note of caution. Although it is the NHS and things are mighty slow in that organisation, payment of overtime on a weekly basis is very costly and if I was responsible for the costs I would be moving to monthly payments.

Get off your high, pedantic horse.

'Often' or 'regularly' or whatever word you wish to use, a mortgage company will do as I say, even in today's climate.

Do you wish to be so pathetic as to define 'often' as once in 100, or 1000, a million?

Thank you, which is essentially what I stated.

The point is you are not in charge of NHS payroll so this comment is completely irrelevant and is of no help to the OP.

What is of help is the fact her overtime is late, and it isn't the first time, and she needs to do something about it, not what you personally think the NHS should be doing with their payroll!
