OT surprise

Claim
OT visible before the weekend.
Evidence
Thursday notes vs payroll for six weeks.
Caveat
The wage gap still had to be paid. The forecast did not hire.
Situation
OT arrived as a Monday apology. Rooms and the desk blew Saturday; the roster was a photocopy of 2019.
Approach
Brandt & Vale rebuilt the template from occupancy. Nightwatch protected overnight. The Thursday note named two moves. No auto-cut.
Outcome
Weekend OT variance inside the band for six weeks. Overnight coverage held. The wage gap was named and funded instead of ‘scheduled away.’
“They would not let me unstaff the night to look tidy.”
