There is currently a requirement to work 80 hours per year as contractual overtime to cover Saturday ceremonies booked to take place at Portsmouth Register Office and licenced venues across the city. These hours are worked on a rota basis, working one in three Saturday’s during each month. During the spring and summer months this is likely to increase to two in four Saturdays. These hours are in addition to the set 37 hours worked between Monday and Friday. Contractual overtime is reviewed annually and may fluctuate from one year to another.
There will be occasional additional weekend work on Sundays and public holidays. These are allocated on a voluntary basis and not included in the 80 hours contractual overtime requirement. Payment is offered in return for working on Sundays and public holidays.
