Lately, I’ve been asking my company to pick up some overtime, especially since there’s so much work in our department. However, each time I try to sign up, I’m told that overtime is only available to more tenured employees because I’m still new in the role. I completely understand their point, but with the workload being so heavy, it would be nice if they offer some flexibility or exceptions so more people could help out and earn a little extra.

What is your company's OT policy?

We unfortunately don’t get overtime. They threaten to write us up if we get OT. With the amount of call outs we have they should be glad that someone wants to work later or come in earlier

That is pretty strict policy around working hours. I used to work for a retail store where we were not supposed to take anybody's shift if it leads to more than 40 hours of work oer week or we were written up.

Ours isn't really structured but managers want to give priority to the senior employees. But the senior employees usually don't want it so it becomes a last-minute scramble every time...

It is the same thing for our department too. Senior employee don't take OT but my company still wouldn't give it to us. That feels weird to me.

We are so understaffed that our policy is basically if you are willing to work it, it is yours. We need all the help we can get. I am kind of surprised they have that policy if there is plenty of OT to go around.

Thats what I don't understand either. You either give it to people whoever is looking for OT or just don't ask around. Our GM is a bit weird personality actually so whatever he says just goes.

Totally get this. It’s frustrating when the workload is heavy but OT is limited by tenure. At my company, OT is usually offered based on seniority too, but when things get really busy they open it up to everyone. I wish more places were flexible, if people are willing and capable, why not let them help and earn a bit extra?

Exactly! They should be more flexibility around OT especially when workload it alot but some companies don't understand it.

Hi everyone!

From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
