If the review has been finalised at a higher figure your 10% 50/50 should now kick in at a higher amount. You will therefore be able to keep a higher percentage of the overtime so overall you may not be much or any worse off.

Thanks......not thought of it like that :0) although we dont get the 10% ours is just 50%.

But to get to earn GT's salary increase we have to both work at least 37.5hrs of OT each per month!! Thats a whole extra working week each a month just to earn what they say our basic salary is!!!! Im due to have ankle reconstuction surgery soon which will mean at least 5 months off sick for me on my true basic wage and I doubt hubby will be able to do more OT to cover this as I will be unable to walk/drive so will need him around to help taking the kids to/from school and my physio appointments!

Lets just hope we get through this year being able to maintain our payments then await the next review!!

I personally would seek further assurance from your IP - have you spoken to the review team or your IP. It really does sound unreasonable to include over time as a regular payment towards your income and expenditure. As to having to work an extra 37.5 hrs in the month to meet your payment that is outrageous and I would want ask where is the work life balance that everyone is entitled to - if you work that amount of hours the likelihood is your health with suffer long term and could impact on your IVA payments further...

However not being an expert I am not fully aware of whether you can challenge this decision further - maybe one of the professionals can answer this for you.

You need to ask why they are including overtime as part of your basic salary calculation. Ask Karol to oversee this for you personally if necessary.
