I was standing up for my right not to be forced into doing overtime I didn't want to do at a rate of pay I wasn't prepared to accept (as is everyones right under the employment law) There was still opportunities for the workforce to do some overtime at time if they wanted, just not as much as if i'd rolled over and accepted the dictates of the client whos was being deliberately stingy. It turned out that their workers were getting time and a half for overtime.
What's next, doing overtime at half pay? Its still extra money. Your employer has no legal requirement to pay you at all for overtime,
