TfL Ref: FOI-2372-1718

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 21 November 2017 asking for information about overtime at London Underground stations.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require.

TfL relies on its workforce to help ensure that journeys across all forms of transport can happen reliably and safely. In some roles, we use overtime to ensure that we can flexibly respond to changing demands. Use of a limited amount of overtime helps us to deliver this as efficiently as possible. We continually review our use of overtime as a business as part of our routine performance reporting, keeping a close eye on the balance between overtime and our permanent resource levels, to ensure we continue to operate with value for money for the fare and tax payer in mind.

Please see the table below containing the information you have requested. We have included payroll period 6 (6 August to 2 September) and period 7 (3 September to 30 September) as these periods cover the whole of August when overtime will have been worked but not paid until the period 7 payroll in September.

Row Labels	No of instances	Sum of Amount	No of unique employees
2017 P6	3,805	£957,202	2,451
2017 P7	3,571	£870,539	2,397

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
