After filling in my timesheet I found I had done 20 hours overtime this past month. I was told by a collegue that I can only carry forward 11 hours and I would lose the rest. Surely this isnt right regardless of possible company policies. If the hours were agreed with my line manager then they shouldnt be allowed to take the hours off me. Does anyone know the correct legal standing over this.

This isn't right!!!! You are entitiled to all the leau you have gained weather it be in pay or holiday! Call ACAS (if in UK) on 08457 47 47 47 they deal with all employment laws and you can gain a lot of money in compensation if your employer is in the wrong!!!!!!

I don't believe they can be taken off you particularly since you agreed the overtime hours in advance. I suggest you contact ACAS - I think they're called ACAS. They're the employer/employee arbitration panel and offer, are able to offer you advice for free on your legal position.

That is effed up... but it happened to me... i had 10 hrs of overtime I didn't get paid for... and when I asked for a certain night off and didn't get it, I told the people I was going to show up, clock in, and sit on my butt. Actually I ended up going and getting the newest Harry Potter book and reading it. ( It was the midnight sale, and I worked graveyard). I *took* my time back.

I think it depends on your contract of employment. It doesn't sound fair to me, though. If they took them off me, I'd be very reluctant to ever do them any favours in the future.
