Overtime Xmas week

[carrier789]

If I go 4 hours over evaluation Monday and Tuesday this week and have leave the rest of the week do I get overtime or do my days off and Xmas not count as evaluation?

Paid leave will count as a full day's work for overtime calculations during Christmas OT period. Unpaid leave will count as 0 hours.

From the knowledgebase, in relation to policies surrounding the Christmas period.

Christmas Day counts towards evaluation for the week correct?

 

[psd181]

Holidays and other paid leave counts.

There is no such thing as R5 pay. The options for relief day work are R, 3, 5. that's it no combinations!

well, according to the contract...

yep, you are all wrong.



to answer your question:

during the Christmas (no)OT period, anything over your evaluation is paid as OT. if you work your relief day, you are already paid OT and/or an X day, so that is not added on to your Christmas OT.

R5 is the same as DACA 5. A lot of offices here call it R, R3, & R5 instead of DACA R, DACA 3, & DACA 5. It’s easier to write & is more noticeable.

If you want to get technical, the codes changed in 2024 to 064, 038, & 037. JS
