Do you want to set the grievance procedure in train which could then involve your manager's manager and flag up the personal nature of the barring fr om overtime.


thanks little voice,the person doing my overtime is doing the onlyh work i can do

So is that person not doing anything else? That is, is s/he (a) doing the only work you can do and also something else or (b) only doing the work you can do?

This links with tanith wondering about "light duties" and not being allowed to do extra work. They may also be thinking they shouldn't give you extra work because of H&S concerns, because you are limited in what you can do. Is the limitation placed by you, your doctor, or them?

Sorry I only ask more questions!

If your not getting o/t is on the advice of occupational health then your employer may be criticised for asking you to work more hours.

The way to get more hours would be a revised opinion from occupational health.

no sorry i meant ive changed my contract hours after seing o. h,

Emmzi

Did OH suggest you reduce your contract hours?

If they did, your employer may be acing in your best interests by not giving you any more hours.

LittleVoice

Yes. If OH advise that X hours is OK, then X+ hours could be a problem for your employers. In the end, your long-term health is more important than the extra pounds in overtime and its knock-on effect on your eventual redundancy pay.

Sounds as though your employer is indeed protecting you from overworking by not giving you over-time... as emzi says you need to get a revised opinion from O/H but if you are being made redundant anyway maybe its a bit of a waste of time.....
