Can someone explain how this works in the US? If my work said this to me I’d feel totally comfortable saying no, and if I did come in I’d charge for transport and get double time.
Well, in this particular instance, they asked on Wednesday to make up for time lost last week when I had to deal with a family emergency. So, I can understand that request. Otherwise, if a full-time employee is under by X hours, then they can usually get away with the request. Asking beyond that is overtime.
Fuck everything about that. A family emergency is an emergency. This is only within the ballpark of reasonable if you don’g have the time off to spend and need to have the hours in.
Fair. The particulars are more detailed than is safe to get into, but rest assured, family is safe/healthy and my investment in the company warrants my attention. I appreciate the concern for worker’s rights and mental well-being.
