Check it and see if it includes any mention of something like 'plus any reasonable overtime deemed necessary by the company.............'
My contracted hours are 40 hrs Monday to Friday, plus this type of clause. Our staff association are taking legal advice as to the definition of reasonable as since we have had several redundancies in certain positions, there has been regular occurrences of 50+ hours being logged.
