Hi - we have a clause in our IVA that states we have to pay 50% of any overtime into the IVA. My husband works a rolling shift pattern inclusive of weekends and Bank Holidays. This is contractual and he does receive enhanced pay for it, although it doesn't happen that frequenty. On his payslip, however, the payment shows as overtime. My question is, as this is a contractual payment should we have to contribute 50% into the IVA? Any ideas please?[:)]

Hi
No the basic salary was taken into account at that point due to the way the shift pattern changes. The shift pattern chanes on a 4 on 4 off basis, so if this week he worked Mon - Thurs, next week it moves on a day and he would work Tues - Friday. After 3 shifts he gets ten days off but when he goes back he repeats the last shift pattern he did - so confusing! So at the time we did the I&E, we couldn't factor it in as we didn't know what he would be working for the next year?

Rl it may be that as it happens you pay over the percentage at the time it happens. You won't know what that it until the month it happens. I really would talk to your IP as they will have a much better answer as yours is individual to you and our answers can only go on what we know of our circumstances.
If it is additional income earned, that was not declared in the IVA proposal, then there are probably good grounds for claiming an uplift from you. The exact terms ought to be included in the IVA documents, but if in any doubt check this out with your own IP.
