Frequently asked questions
How is overtime calculated in care? +
Overtime is usually paid at an enhanced rate (commonly time-and-a-half) for hours above the contracted weekly total, though care contracts vary. Enter the base rate, overtime hours and multiplier to see the cost.
Is overtime mandatory? +
No. Unless the contract requires it, workers can decline overtime, and total hours remain subject to the 48-hour Working Time limit unless a signed opt-out is in place.
Does overtime affect holiday pay? +
Yes. Regular overtime can be included when calculating statutory holiday pay, so factor it into holiday pay arrangements.
