My mom lost her career due to Covid and has had to restart. She has worked her way up through an event hosting company (being purposely vague), and has landed a managerial position that she is very excited about.
This position is salaried (less than 50,000$/year). They are understaffed because they refuse to offer competitive wages, and so she now does the job of 2+ people.
They are making her work 50-70 hours per week, but are only paying her regular pay. Overtime is instead to be paid in the form of days off or “lieu hours”. She did not agree to this. Additionally, overtime hours are not documented anywhere and are instead given “under the table”. Lieu days are taken off on “the honour system”.
Is this allowed? Now they're asking her to finish a shift at midnight and come in at 6:30am to midnight the following day.
TLDR; overtime hours not documented, instead employees can take paid days off “on the honour system”. In Ontario, Canada.
