Deciding whether to work overtime is often a challenging decision to make, and speaking in English about it can make it harder! Today let's talk about overtime, the vocabulary that we can use to discuss it, how we get paid for overtime, and the phrases and grammar structures that we use at work, in English when discussing overtime. If you're a non-native English speaker and you want to sound more native and natural when you're speaking English with your colleagues, managers, customers and clients then this podcast is for you.

Also, if you're studying for the IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge English tests and exams then you might find some of the vocabulary in this episode really useful.
This podcast is all about helping you to communicate better, in English, at work. I work with international English speakers from around the world who use English, at work, as a second or third language and I hope that I can bring some of the ideas, vocabulary, and grammar, from those sessions, to you in this podcast.
Don’t forget that my full time job is helping international professionals who use English at work to improve their communication skills. So, if you need English to do your job but don’t speak it natively then maybe we can work together to help you to achieve your language goals.
