can my regular overtime be cut?
i have been working full time for my firm for 16 years and have always had a substantial amount of overtime allocated over weekends. they are now employing a weekend secretary which will impact the other secretaries financially, quite substantially. is there any recourse on what is an effective pay cut?
it would depend on a number of different factors if there is a claim here. firstly, it would depend on how many hours overtime you have worked and if this is every weekend or if there is a pattern. (you can only legally work 48 hours per week and you must have a signed agreement to say if you want to work more). then it will depend on what your contract states on overtime.


legally, guaranteed overtime would count as normal working hours. the issue on why you need to consider the above is to determine whether your overtime hours have become contractual.


in employment law where certain terms may become implied into an employment contract by ‘custom and practice’. this makes them contractually binding even if they are not written down anywhere. this area of law is rather complicated and there is always a degree of uncertainty as to whether a term has become implied in this way. it is usually only down to the tribunals to establish with certainty if that is the case. however, it does not prevent employees from raising this argument with their employers.


in general, your overtime would need to have been clearly communicated and consistently applied for a number of years before it is considered an implied contractual term. therefore, something that is uncertain, or is not applied consistently is unlikely to qualify.


i would advise that you raise this issue with your employer/ hr department to see what they say about it.
it all varies depending on the team.if you’re close to production, pressure is high. outside of this there are a lot of variation, but in general people are working a lot. this is not really that there are explicit pressure to work long hours but many are very committed , and i think that when you are joining a team you’re more likely to pick up the same rythme.in terms of compensation, it depends on the role / the team and how much they want you after the on-site, but they will in general align on other offers you may have (from google/fb/apple/amazon/...) Anyone can sue anyone over anything. The question is what would the damages be. Talk with an attorney if you wish to pursue this. good Luck,

Hello!


When you say experienced hired, this can still mean 2-3 different tenures. Can you specify? Precisely the bonus is the part that changes most as you go up in the org. 


ME is rather frozen, but again, could you specify office?


Hope it helps!


Cheers, 


Clara depends on your business, at google some teams are given an hour or more a day to work on their own projects. sometimes these projects get backed by google, it's a good means of keeping the best entrepreneurial types happy and working on your side.i didn't work in that team but just having the freedom to get up from your desk and do something fun or relaxing for a while is great, we had areas to sleep, play video games, pool tables etc. being forced to stay at a desk is bullshit. updated on 26/02/2021:this sounds like an 'erroneous transfer' to me,@oldboiler - more info on this topic!i would reach out to our customer care team asap.we’re onfacebook,twitterand ourhelp centrehasonline chat!we can find out who is trying to take over your supply, so you can approach them and advise you wish to cancel, or highlight they have the wrong address.if it's too late or you can't cancel with them, we can 'object' to this switch, blocking it from happening!if you’re reading this and you’re thinking of switching suppliers, head over to our quote and switch page hereand check out our latest plans. Tough to say without knowing more. They could have re-indicted your case or it could be on an arraignment calendar just to keep track of the case since it is so old. If you have a lawyer, he or she should be able to tell you what is going on. Not normally. You can call the facility and speak to a counselor or case manager and ask nicely if they will relay a message. The rules are usually against this, but if you ask nicely, they might pass along your urgent message. Sure.   

  

But most of the time they try to turn it down, because department regulations prohibit it in most places. Some places (in the old days) used to do it to try to curry favor and get better police protection. That is not really the case any more. Everybody knows that cops lock up the guy who bought them the free meal, just like they do the guy who charged full price.   

  

It is embarassing in someplaces, and some places won't take no for an answer, so you end up leaving a BIG tip. And someplaces are so flagrant aboit it, you stop going there.   

  

Back in the old days, when we made less money that any other public servant, we interperted it as a nice gesture. Now, we aren't sure why people do it. I guess it is somewhat akin to a professional courtesy. Lots of restaurants give half price to the guys who deliver to them, or the plumber who fixes their rest room.   

  

As far as the donuts, I love them, but don't eat too many any more, I have gotten too fat. But i do drink lots of Convenience store and donut shop coffee. Once upopn a time, only diners were open at night, all night, and it gave a police officer someplace to take a break from either foot or mechanized patrol. In the middle of the night, there are different people out and about in the world. So, the newspaper delivery man, the cop, the donut shop waitress and the bartenders going off duty are the only people around and they would often all come together in the diner or donut shop. having add could disqualify you with some departments, but not all. i think this greatly depends. some would consider it a liability issue. yes, unemployment puts a strain on any individual and any relationship. <br><br>however, i don&#39;t see how i can recommend taking up paid sex as a solution for problems, though i can understand how you might find the idea tempting in more ways than one. what does your husband think of the idea ? he could hardly fail to be curious about where the new money was coming from. otherwise, how could you explain it to him ? <br><br>i agree with maria. <br>
