overtime clause in contract

[Alexander Coe]

The staff in my dept have been based in a bank but were outsourced by a consulting company - the consulting company lost the contract and they are in the process in-sourcing us to the bank.

They've just offered me a new contract, which is nice, except for the clause below:

"Please note the 8-9th hour is unpaid. Payment is for hours 1-8 and 9 plus"

am paid per hour and the old deal was that we claimed for any overtime over 8 hrs, so this will mean a lose of 10hrs or so a month in OT...

Is this kind of cause common? is it worth trying to push back on this?

Thanks in advance

do you really need us to advise you to push it back?

alternatively: if the 9th hour is unpaid, then it is unworked too.
So include your lunch hour in your timesheet
Or every 8 hours, spend one hour posting on this board, surf the web, write emails to loved ones, play games, ....
