Got our company pay released for the new tax year today.
Good news – 49p per hour base pay rise.
Bad news – Overtime cut from 1.5x to 1.25x.
I do an overtime shift almost every week but these will now be worth £20 less per shift…
Reason given by company that only 3% of shifts this year were overtime, so they've taken out of the overtime budget to increase the base rate. Not sure they've thought through that the overtime is necessary to complete all work. The incentive for doing this OT has now been halved. Let's see what happens going forward with missed orders if staff refuse to take overtime at reduced rate.
Think my time here is limited now.
