My employer doesn’t pay over time. I have over 150 hours to recover, and I’ve only been there for six months. My contract is for 20hrs/week.
My contract is also for the weekend, which means I get 70% more on Sundays.
I’ve just found out that when I recover all those extra hours, I’m not paid the Sunday rate. At the end of the month, I made 250-350 less.
My employer thinks this is normal, since I didn’t work on Sunday. I wasn’t physically there, so I shouldn’t get the Sunday rate.
But I have NO CHOICE but to recover those hours on the weekends. So every time I recover the hours that I did to help them out, I’m losing money.
I had a meeting with him, and was very firm that if he doesn’t pay me the Sunday rate when I’m recovering the hours I did because they asked me too, I would leave.
Some people have called me greedy. Saying that I’m wrong and should call down, it’s just how work is.
What do you think?
