overtime not offered to all

[becky2585]

There is potentially another argument here.

 

Skinnered, I think the argument here would have to be less favourable treatment - not discrimination.

 

That being the case, if the only reason that the OP wasn't offered Friday overtime was because they don't work Fridays, there could be an argument that the less favourable treatment was due to the OP's status as a part time worker, which could be unlawful. Therefore, as previously indicated, a formal grievance would be the way to go.

 

I believe the law still says that overtime for part time employees at a higher rate only kicks in if they work over full time hours, and any hours worked over usual hours and up to full time hours can legitimately be remunerated on basic pay only - but that could be a contractual issue, so worth checking.

Guidance on Gov UK site:

 

But again, you're missing the legal point. Yes, discrimination is unlawful in those areas (and many more) but only if the principal reason is BECAUSE OF a protected characteristic as defined by the Equality Act.
