Was it authorised overtime or just what you did to cover the workload?

If you are on a salary you don't get paid per hour. The people on the per hour basis will be much less well paid than you overall.

[murraymints]

probably not..if you have not negotiated overtime rates..but no harm in asking...learn from it ! or can you take the hours as time in lieu of notice ?

[bednobs]

You can ask but I doubt you'll get the answer you want. If you regularly do that much over it can have only taken you a few weeks to build up those hours.. I would be inclined to negotiate doing fewer hours during your notice period

Salaried staff usually don't get paid for overtime (although individual employers might make exceptions - I was salaried when I worked on the railways but still received some overtime pay occasionally).

Further, when overtime is worked there's never any obligation upon an employer to pay a single penny for it UNLESS
(a) the employee's contract states that they'll receive payment for it ; OR
(b) the employee's average earnings would fall below the National Living Wage (or National Minimum Wage, as appropriate) as a result.

Even when payments are made for overtime they don't have to exceed, or even match, the normal rate of pay. Junior doctors used to be paid at just ONE THIRD of their standard pay rate when they worked overtime (which is why they were required to work 36 hour shifts).
