Re: Agency workers
If you mean paid extra like royal mail staff do then I doubt it very much,they get paid by the agency for the hours they work.heraldmoth wrote: ↑11 May 2023, 17:40Do agency/casual staff get paid for delivery of election literature?

Re: Agency workers
So it’s a grey area, they could do the work and hope to get paid OT?

Re: Agency workers
Agency don't get overtime. Agency get paid an hourly rate for the hours they work (hours they book - most likely into an app or website). See any advert like this as an example: https://www.manpower.co.uk/job/326433/delivery-driver/
That one currently says "Up to £15.71 per hour". So they get that (or slightly less) per hour for each hour - calculated by the minute. If they don't work they don't get paid anything (Sundays and D/O). If they are only required for a few hours on a particular day that's all they get. If they happen to work all day and more they get all day and more hours. When they are no longer required they are told the gig is up.

Re: Agency workers
Not really no, they get paid for the time they spend working regardless of what they do in that time.heraldmoth wrote: ↑11 May 2023, 18:05So it’s a grey area, they could do the work and hope to get paid OT?
