Do you think it would be fair if your boss reviewed you for a possible raise, but denied it because you had worked too much overtime?

If you accept it, it's fair.
If you don't think it's fair, find another job.

Fairness isn't the question. Unfortunately, your boss may be looking at the budget, and with all the overtime you have they can't afford to give you a raise.
kind of a catch 22.
Doesn't feel fair, I know. But it wouldn't be fair if giving you a raise hurts the company either. Maybe you can talk them into a one time bonus or something, just to acknowledge your hard work. Or a gift certificate to a nice restaurant.... Extra days off, paid. There are little ways they can make up for that.

its not fair, but maybe your boss had a reason behind that like if your job's overtimes are special privileges, and he or she wants it to be fair for all the workers, or maybe you just work so much overtime that a raise will not make much of a difference or they don't want to pay you too much

I don't think it's fair per se, but maybe your boss thinks you should be able to get your work done more quickly. He may therefore think you are doing a good job - but just taking to long to do it. I would just go look for another job - unless you really love that one. It sounds like you are really working hard for the company and they can't even give you a raise.

That depends -- did you work too much overtime because you weren't fast/good/competent enough to get your work done in the normal day? Then yes -- it's fair.

Was the overtime needed and approved or was the overtime caused by a lack of time mgmt skills?

So, employers gained't ought to pay time previous regulation - yet award comp. time. That comp. time will be taken in effortless words on the agency's discretion, allowing her or him to pay a lot less in wages and shift the hours to a lot less busy classes of the year. And, that is by some means favorable to operating households? have you ever even worked a shift job and supported a kin? OT is the in effortless words way you could make it artwork. also, your little decrease n' paste from some Republican PR residing house is too a lot.

Sounds like it's time for you to begin practicing "Malicious Obedience." The first thing you do is to stop working overtime. The second thing you do is to do ONLY and EXACTLY what your boss tells you to do. Then when the work doesn't get done and your boss falls on his a*ss and tries to blame you fot it. Say to him, "Gee boss, I can't understand why. I did exactly what you told me to do!!"

Yeah, well, if you worked too much voluntary overtime when you were told not to, I guess you need some kind of relevant punishment.
Totally works for me.They did tell you, right?

In this world there is never fair! The word fair applies only to the weather.
