Your rights to overtime pay
Employers do not have to pay extra for overtime, but your average pay for all the hours you work must not fall below the minimum wage. Your contract usually says what overtime is paid and how. GOV.UK explains overtime.
Regular overtime counts towards holiday pay for at least part of your holiday each year. See the holiday pay calculator.
