Don’t want to pay us for training on our days off but it’s going to cost more to do it when we’re on shift.

As a truck driver we have to do mandatory training to be able to work as a driver. 5×7 hour sessions over 5 years to get a new card. It's the driver's responsibility but majority of employers will provide training, some you have to do it unpaid but they pay for the training. If that seems mean the alternative is paying for it yourself and still doing it in your own time . My lot provide the training and pay you to attend. We run a delivery rota where the same runs go out every day. If you work a rest day that's overtime at 1.5x the standard rate. Training on rest days is only paid at normal time, which is fair enough in my book. They're providing a benefit and want it to be cost effective. Asked the trainer when some more will be planned as the recent ones…

Do employers have to pay drive time?

Hi, I work a construction job in Canada and was curious if I should get paid for driving. A little breakdown of my day to help better understand my situation: I leave my house at 5am and pick up guys from my company (none of them have licenses) and meet at our company shop for 6am. From there I drive my crew to our job site and arrive at 7am. We work our day till 3pm and head back to the shop, get there around 4pm, then I spend the next hour dropping off guys at their homes and I only get home around 5pm. So my quarrel is with me being gone from home for 12 hours and only getting paid for 8. What can I do about this? I know rules for construction jobs differ but this just seems unfair

Back in Summer of 2020 when I learned the hard way how temps are treated – I had been working for over 8 months as a “temp for hire” when I got laid off due to COVID lockdowns. By the time I was rehired, I was suffering from early twin pregnancy complications (hyperemesis gravidarum)

remote job stress

A friend of mine got job offer from different continent as remote backend developer. Am shocked to see how much employer is abusing him. *Installed a tracking software on his personal device *contract defines 10-6 work, but he is required to be online almost 18hrs a day *no lunch breaks *no medical, dental or any kind of coverage *abusive and racist conversions in emails and IMs Shitiest boss ever. Since he is in Germany, no law is applied from Pakistan on him. I think its a new norms where employers hiers remote low cost workers and milk them to hell. There should be some regulations on this.
