My Boss Has Asked Me To Do Overtime

I work as a temp in an office and my boss has asked me to do over time. Thing is she sometimes forgets to pay me or underpays. I do like her, but she's haphazard with 'finalising' my hours each week and I have to wait another week for my money, some weeks. I think it's a cheek to ask me to do overtime due to this reason as I wonder if she'll forget to pay me for this overtime too. I know you’re probably thinking why am I sticking around when I have to wait so long for my correct pay when I can get another job, but I do like my job and the location is perfect for me.
I’ve just come back from a week’s leave, and it was my office colleague who told me that my boss is going to ask me if I can do overtime, so basically she filled me in.
I don’t think my boss should have told her first she's going ask me and I get to find out second. My boss has only asked me because there is so much typing to do and I’m the only temp around! I am heavily committed to my time outside of my work and I can’t commit to working over.
I just wondered if you thought it was wrong of my boss to let my colleague know she’ll be asking me and I get to hear it second hand? Plus, my boss asked me in front of everyone, and I just said, "I'll think about it".

I think you're over-thinking it! Your choice to do the O/T or not.

While you are away they might have been discussing how busy they were and the boss mentioned she might ask you to do O/T when you came back. No big deal.
Why not fill a time-sheet in each week which you can give to your boss in order to help her pay you the correct amount.

Been there done that, Ken 4155.
If you don't want to do the overtime, don't drag it out, just let her know.
