Time in Lieu Posted by Andrea - 01:26 PM 27.07.10
I work as personal assistant and have plenty of duties outside my job description. I have been working with the same company for 4 years. I am paid salary for 38 hours per week and working sometimes up to 50 there is no time in lieu and no overtime rates? I also supervise other staff in the office and have recently found they recieve more per week on an hourly rate with the same benifits (sick and holiday pay) then my self and with quarter or the responsibility, is there anything I can do about this?

Sometimes people who earn a salary are expected to work more hours per week than those set down in the NES. This extra time at work is considered to be compensated for by being paid at a higher rate. We’d really like to talk to you though so we can get some more details about your particular situation and advise you on any course of action which might be possible. Our toll free number is 1300 486 466 and we’re open from 9am (EST) to 6.30pm Monday to Thursday and from 9am to 4.30pm on Friday.
