Guaranteed overtime HSBC

Hi all, would anyone happen to know if HSBC are accepting guaranteed overtime as part of your income? My boss has informed me that we are guarantee 60 hours every month and is willing to write me a letter to prove this. This would make a massive difference to our affordability if they do accept it
thanks

    I believe Barclays and NatWest are currently allowing OT pay.
    Please check with your broker as mine has submitted my application with Barclays using OT.
    Note - I had to provide 2 x P60 to evidence it was sustainable

    Is the level of guaranteed overtime written into your contract of employment?

    No it’s a new thing my boss has introduced, as people weren’t doing the overtime because it wasn’t guaranteed and it would effect other things like tax credits etc should it stop. He said he can write a letter if that’s any good?

    Thanks but I have my appointment tomorrow and my boss has only just introduced the guaranteed overtime as from last week, so it wouldn’t be on any payslips or P60’s he said he is willing to write a letter to prove it’s there

    I stand corrected - just been to HSBC DIP page and they now appear to accept OT provided it meets certain conditions.

    Oh really! So it’s worth mentioning during my appointment? I just don’t know if they will go for it because I haven’t actually done the overtime as yet as it’s only just come in at my work place.

    Seems they have loosened up from their nhs only days but you will need to have 3 months of overtime before they will consider it
    quaterly, half yearly and annual bonuses are still not being allowed - only allowing additional income if weekly or monthly and on the latest 3 months payslips

    Definitely changed from a few weeks ago - it stated clearly they would only accept OT from NHS, but that seems to have gone now.

    I think so too the problem will be that you haven’t got any evidence on your payslip yet, also I’m not sure whether a letter from your manager will be sufficient or whether you will need something in T’s and C’s from your HR department.
    You can always try tomorrow when you speak to them as that will not be a full application and see what they say.
    Good luck
