I'm a new employee at Boost and I've worked overtime for an hr this week. When it came to the end of my shift, my manager (who is one of those people you can't tell is joking or not) said I had to stay behind for 2 hours. He sounded dead serious so I kept working for a bit...then about 10min later he told me he was joking, and that I could leave after he'd gone to get some supplies. When he returned, it was already half an hr after my shift ended. So:
a) Should I get paid for the total of one hour extra that I worked? Although this is my first week/still in training/don't want to risk sounding really pedantic?
b) What should I do next time? Just announce I'm leaving at the end of my shift?

Don't know the specifics of my rights and stuff so any advice pls
