Time in lieu.

Any work done out of hours I build up time in lieu then i just take a day here or there when i reach 7.5 hours built up.

Does that mean you don't get paid over time rates?

Nice, my last place decided that TIL wasnt good for them, so they changed it to be expected overtime as part of your salary. Jerks!

Depends.

If i'm on call, and I get a phone call from our Ops team to log in and fix something because it's broken, I get overtime rates.

If I have scheduled a job to be done out of hours, regardless of if im on call or not then I only get TIL.

Yeah we have expected OT here. Be Posted Image'ed if I would do any though.
It is nothing short of a dog act to expect people to give away their life for nothing. I do strongly believe that it should be illegal to not pay OT.

At my previous job OT didn't exist.

I stayed once till 6:30 cause the boss needed help (finish at 5!) and when i got paid i didnt get any OT, i thought it was a mistake... it wasnt. I went ape shit bat crazy! Couple of weeks latter i told him to get forked and resigned.

I know in the IT field, employers are allowed to request a "reasonable amount of overtime"...but no hourly figure is stated. As a general rule I think it's a percentage of the time you work for the week, so a 37.5 hour week they could probably request you do maybe 3-4 extra hours a week without paying overtime/TIL. It's rude, but they're within their rights unfortunately.

Agree, i never did any. Why should I help a multi billion dollar company get richer for free.

They used to say you could claim some back as TIL, but never got approved because they were so understaffed.

Its good here, i work hours, i get paid hours.
