clocking and salary

BenFoldsFive

Being working for my employer for the past few months.I am on a salary and do a fair bit of overtime when it gets busy.I have been told that i should "clock in".I spend a lot of time on the road so it was suggested that i clock in remotely.Seeing that i get paid salary and they want me on a clocking sytem should I not be intitled overtime pay?This clocking system was never metioned on my contract.

Loads of salaried employees who are overtime exempt need to sign or clock in and out. I wouldn't say that it infers any more rights.

The Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 actually requires all employees to track start and finishing times, hours worked each day and each week and holidays, so "clocking in" is actually required by law. Most employers just don't do it.

When it comes to performance review/bonus time, you can use the hours from the clocking system to show how much overtime you've been working

i think the clocking thing might be a bit of a red herring. the clock will prove the amount of time that you are working for your employer. sounds like you should welcome it as a positive measure. use it to your advantage. it also shows your employer that you are a hard working, trust worthy, and diligent employee.

the overtime thing is a separate matter - it would be worth having a gentle non confrontational chat with your employer. explain your side of things - don't relate it to anything other than the number of hours you are actually working and the number of hours you are expected to work. let them know where you stand. assess where they stand. communication is a wonderful thing when it goes two ways ;o)

The law stipulates that you cannot work over 48 hours per week. However this is averaged over 6 months so if it is a large company they will hav eto have some sort of tracking system.
