Will do. Should be easer to spot than a ditch

Oh I saw that bad boy coming!

So Katie just got called into her managers office and spoken to because she leaves at 5pm every day.

Her office hours are 8:30 - 5 and she is on a certain wage.

She was told that either she stays in the office past 5pm or her wage goes down.

Surely her boss has zero grounds to stand on?

Nik is probably one of the few people on here that is not a hater and has actively stood up in support of XV dude.

Brown pants were brown!

Does her contract state reasonable unpaid overtime anywhere?

Just leave at 5:02

RenDoggyDog, is that a bit of gutter rash on that?

Yeah a couple of them have a bit of rash, nothing to major tho.
Thats why im selling them cheaper.

Past 5pm = 5:01? other than that the manager can go and get 'ed.

Wait till they give her an official warning for 'leaving early'...then take the written warning to the fair work people.

Otherwise, keep doing what she's doing.

Also as far as i'm aware (unless it's paid in bonuses) they can't decrease pay without a change of job title.

yeah fair call. how much are you going to slap on them?

Morgrain, for me personally that would be alarm bells shit when they start trying to pull that crap.
If her contract was signed as office hours 8:30-5pm on X wage, it is illegal for them to say "do more hours or we will cut your pay".

As much as KT has a leg to stand on, fighting that with what sounds to be a total shitbag of a human for manager will probably just end in a hostile work place.

THIS!

It says something to the effect of 'you are obliged to stay back if necessary' which is absolutely fine. She does this all the time. She works so much overtime it's not even funny.

However, her workday ends at 5pm and she's got to spend the next 2 hours on 2 different trains to get home and if she misses the first lot, it put's another 30-40 mins on her journey.

If no one's life is at in jeopardy at the office, she's damn well going to leave at 5.

She's going to get out of there as soon as she can. Company went through a massive restructure a few months ago when she got the promotion to wedding stylist (which is a 2-3 person job that she is doing all by herself mind you). Then the person who initiated the restructure got fed up and left. Her replacement is such a joke.

I think it's fairly normal for her industry to have a reasonable level of staff turnover, but I've NEVER come across a level as high as this one. No joke, in the last 2 years I've probably heard the same story a dozen times about someone going into the big bosses office and storming out in tears, grabbing their belongings and running out the door never to be seen again.

2 hours to get home???

Seriously, that.

Find a new job.

[Morgan]

Believe me, she's trying!

All the work is in Sydney though

[Adam]

My last workplace was kinda like that. Had a massive turn over. But management didn't change course.


Now I work in a company with 2 permanent staff and one contractor. CHILLED BRO!

[Morgan]

Surely when there is such a high turnover they realise that something isn't right?!

LOL. the Y

hahahahahahahahahahaha so Naive Mr Morgan, the same happens at many companies, senior management sit around patting each other on the back for a job well done, the high turnover at staff obviously has nothing to do with the conditions and pay set out by them..... LOL

[Morgan]

Haha that's what I was getting at... Sarcasm didn't really shine through in my comment

[ADZY7]

My work hours are 7-3:30. I leave at 3:15. And no one says anything.

Salary is bullshit. Unless you are getting a shit load of money. My GF works back and at home with no OT pay. You should be paid for the hours u do.

[Adam]

Haha that's what I was getting at... Sarcasm didn't really shine through in my comment

No it didn't. You bastard.

Salaries are MEANT to include the extra hours you do though. So your hourly rate may seem higher as a regular week, until you factor in the Unpaid OT

[B4TT]

I don't do any unpaid O/T

[Adam]

Yeah same... I don't do any OT
