Hi y'all,
Can anyone advise whether OT is compulsory? Been at my job 10 months and since November we've been "expected" to do alternate Sundays. It's double time per shift but this additional money is going to screw up my student loans threshold, to the point if I start paying it back I'm losing a weekend day per month for nothing. I don't need the money the basic salary is fine for me... I really hate the one day weekend though, and this expectation that I've nothing better to do than live to work....work life balance is terrible now...
There was no mention of this OT at the interview or until the Autumn actually, and I have no contract or written statement to say I should.
(I don't get any breaks either, yesterday I had to hold on to a No2 for the last 2 hrs of my shift cos you just can't stop.... My boss has no idea about 21st century employment law...)
Could he sack me if I refused?
