Overtime not paid

Recently I was sent to Europe for two weeks on a training course, where I worked from
08.00 - 18.45 Mon-Sat for the first week, (58.5 hours worked)
08.00 - 18.45 Mon-Fri for the second week. (48.75 hours worked)
(hour for lunch)
107.25 hours over two weeks.
My usual working week is 37.5 hours.
I never got a penny overtime, surely this isn't right?

What do your terms of employment say? Overtime is only payable if you are contractually entitled to it, or it has specificially been agreed on a particular occasion.0

What did they say when you asked them? Did they say it was a mistake or not?0

I know it wasn't a mistake - but boss has gone on holiday, so I can't do anything till he gets back.
I just need to be clear about my legal position, I feel I've been treated unfairly.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Old style MoneySaving boards.

IF MY EMPLOYER SAYS I HAVE TO ATTEND TRAINING OUTSIDE MY NORMAL WORK HOURS, SHOULD I BE PAID FOR THIS?

Any employment matters:
Ask verbally once.
In writing - second time.
Thrice - Start the grievance process and or walk.0 -
I agree, but after working there for 18 years and always getting paid for overtime, there seemed no reason to believe I wouldn't get paid this time.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Old style MoneySaving boards.

Can you not email payroll and ask if they missed they overtime form? They may be able to add it on another payroll run.
If it was me and I'd normally be paid overtime I'd just think it was an error, but you seem sure they aren't paying you deliberately.Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....0 -

That doesn't add up, six days and five days being the same?
My work has a different policy for training or working away compared to normal overtime, maybe yours does too. Basically for ours a day is a day, so we could claim the Saturday as time off in lieu, but not the longer hours on weekdays. We also count travel the day before or after as work, but are expected to work on the train/flight/waiting as reasonable.But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

I agree. 48.75 hours over 5 days is 9.75 hours per day and over 6 days is 8.125 hours per day but OP is suggesting 12.75 hours per day attendance.
From another thread, they appear to work for a small family company (7 people?), so presumably could easily be resolved by talking to the owners.
It s also not clear whether OP has actually submitted an overtime / time in lieu claim.Originally Posted by shortcrust
