My company is small, understandably when someone goes on holiday it’s fine to help pick up the slack.
But I’ve worked for the same company for nearly two years doing 2-3 peoples roles. They’ve just approved our office support to go on a year long holiday (unpaid) and have no plans to hire anyone during that time. I know that they’re going to ask me to do their job for this time (also unpaid).
Can anyone tell me if I say no to taking on another set of responsibilities can I be punished for it? And what I’m legally able to do?
I know they keep giving me the responsibilities because I don’t say no. So I’m wondering if anyone has advice on how to say no in this situation.
