fairness of this.

If a company offers overtime and it says people already on the grade can have their normal rate £6/ hour but yet if staff on a higher grade take overtime they get £7/ hour- are they allowed to do that? I guess it isn't against the law because both rates of pay are inside the same pay grade.

  • I suppose it reflects the actual pay of each grade.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    I see that but if it special overtime open to all then shouldn't everyone get the same rate per hr.?

    Why? Does the job those on a higher grade do suddenly lower in its value because they're doing overtime? Does your job go up a grade because you're doing overtime? No.

    Haven't you answered your own question? :confused:

    It wouldn't be a... ermm.... 'library' company would it...by any chance? And our dearly beloved sp who has been offered the O/T...and who has got his beady, jealous, self-obsessed eye on a fellow bloke/bloke-ess library-type person????? :confused:
  • It's fair.. those on higher grade are worth more than those on lower grades, so they should get a higher rate of pay for overtime. Deal with it

    Overtime isn't a flat rate
