Hi. so i am wondering. I'm in a marketing department, do i have the right to refuse to work on EVERY weekends, when the company does not pay me extra. All they give is replacement leave, yet always got questioned if I apply leaves because we are short in hand. My contract stated I'm paid from Mon-Fri only. I reaallyy don't want to work every weekends, but I am still a trainee, do I have the right to argue? hmmm... hope someone reads this and help me. thanks! |
Welcome to WdC! I think you'd have more people answering your question if you were asking about how to use a semi-colon. lol I would suggest considering how much longer you be a trainee, if your circumstances will change when you are not a trainee, is this a job you want to keep for a long time, how other long-term employees are treated, if you are able to withstand possibly losing your job, etc. You can always check with human resources, if you company has that department. I understand your frustration, though. I once worked somewhere that they always gave us "comp time" to use toward more days off, but then refused our days off because we were always so short handed. I lost a lot of comp time when I left. But it made sense--if they couldn't function with the regular staff and regular hours, how are they going to function with 1 less staff member? Good luck! |
First question are you in the States? Most of the U.S. are a right to work state and they can fire you for anything. #2: What did you put for your availability hours to work. If you put 7 days, ya don't have a leg to stand on. I was in management and was HR for a year. It all depends on those two questions but truly more #2. Now, if your in another country I have no idea of course. I have no idea about the hiring process for other countries. They will work newbies more on the weekends unless they |
Blast it I accidentally hit submit 🤦🤦🤦 They do work the newbies more on weekends and holidays. I agree with Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo? about checking out how the other employees are treated and is it a job that you want as long term? If it isn't get another job before you quit, that's my advice. I hope this helps you some what. |
Don't fret, little one. There will be plenty to eat.
