Overtime: your rights
Part-time workers
Usually, part-time workers must not be treated less favourably than full-time staff.
You’ll normally get paid at your hourly rate if you work longer hours than set out in your employment contract. Your employer will usually only pay overtime if at least one of the following applies:
- you work more than the normal working hours of full-time staff and full-time staff would get extra pay for working these hours
- you work at unsocial times (for example, late at night) and full-time staff would get more pay
Your contract will say if your right to paid overtime is different.
