So you want me to work an extra half an hour each day? 5 working days a week and 52 weeks a year, that's an extra 130 hours of billable time. Revise my contract to reflect the additional billable hours and I'll absolutely work that time, because I'm not giving 130 hours of my life for free.

In the states, if you are contacted by your employer in your off time and you have a regularly recurring schedule (read: predictable), then your employer must compensate you for that time. If your employer offers paid drive time to/from work as well then often times that time frame is extended to the time you accepted the phone call from said boss. Does *not* apply if you call them, though, since that would be dictating your own schedule. People would be calling their boss to chit-chat on the way home and then expect to be paid for it 😂

My dad worked with a man who was somewhat meticulous and liked to get in maybe 30 min early to work and stay a bit late to finish stuff. He kept a record of his time because he was like that. The company did not in any way ask or pressure him to do any extra time, and he never requested compensation. During an audit, it was discovered that he was doing this, and the company was forced to pay him for every extra hour going back several years. Compensable hours are defined in labor law. The company does not get to decide.

There were times when we were behind, the manager worked with us, sometimes in the back cleaning things & never said a word about it. We were all willing to give more because of this.

It's so funny, I kinda have the opposite experience of this. I was an apprentice at a shipyard and the hourly worker's time was strictly regulated by the whistle. We had 6 whistles throughout the day: a 10 minute warning whistle before each shift, the start of day whistle, lunch whistle, 10 min warning to get back to work (effectively making it only 20 minutes for lunch instead of 30), and then the end of shift whistle. I had dreams about that damned thing and hated it with a passion. Then I was promoted to an office job and we had a two week training period where we learned how to be office workers. The relationship with that damned whistle was like walking out of darkness into daylight. The instructor told us to relax. If we were a little late coming in during the morning, or coming back from lunch, no big deal - just flex the time. We had time to get coffee and shoot the shit after the first whistle - no one cared if the computer was on yet or not. As long as you got the work done, they were happy. I never thought it would be true, but 27 years later I'm still at that damned job. 🤣 Don't get me wrong, work has plenty of bosses like those in these videos, but I've been blessed to work with truly great people and I'm thankful every day.

I have never seen an employer, ever, get upset that their employee wants to take a full lunch break. That's a huge red flag, if that is really happening. Now, I've said to others that I often skip lunch or take a working lunch, but that's more in response to things like "I don't want to take up too much of your time" or "sorry to call you around lunch time" etc - never, ever an expectation that they should be doing the same. On the other hand - If I ask my employees to start at 7:30 instead of 8, as a condition of their job role, then yes their time does now end at 4:30... BUT mandatory OT is a thing. If I have a meeting that is mandatory for all employees to attend, then I expect them (with ample notice) to make themselves available for the meeting - and yes, compensated via OT pay, or let them know in advance which day I can let them out a half hour earlier to make up for their time. Work isn't always pretty, but sometimes schedules need to be flexible and so do people. If you work for a company that is respectful of your time otherwise and simply needs to fill a business need with a schedule change, and has given you ample notice, that seems like a reasonable request. If you work for a company that drops last minute changes on you - or in this case insinuates that you need to work unpaid during lunch or before shift, then run. Or don't - document it - and then submit a claim, along with the testimonies of your fellow coworkers 😁

They were trying to be all friendly, just enquiring, etc. They asked why I took my full lunch break every day while others didn't. I was so shocked. I just about managed to pull myself together to chew them out, that I was contractually entitled to the time, and I didn't have to explain my use of it to anyone, and if they pulled me up on it again I would be seeking legal advice. What astonished me so much was that they were generally good bosses, as you seem to get with giant companies with proper HR teams and an acute knowledge of how legally fucked they could be if they pulled this kind of stuff. My guess is that some braincells went wandering that day.

They were laughed out of the meeting when asking if the union would seek the hospital to pay for those meetings! "It is the LAW for mandatory anything to be paid.

One of those ways in which things start off bad and get worse- I was used to salaried professionals being expected to put in the little extra, and have done for many years, but after a while employers start to take advantage. I hope to avoid becoming either or a serf or one of those barrack room lawyer types but it's a fine line to tread.

Many years ago, I had a job like that. The boss expected you to be on the floor 15 minutes early, and she always had something "that just has to be done _now_. But of course that was unpaid. And she'd chew on you for coming back literally 1 minute late, because "The company shouldn't have to pay you when you're not working!" So I started answering back with "Well you expect me to work without pay for 15 minutes every day. If the company doesn't want to pay me for when I'm not working, that's fine, but then you can't expect me to work for free." She started giving me the line about, "Well, that's how I know you're here." The store had a bench outside the store opening, and I started sitting out there until it was time to start my work. She could see me, so she knew I was there. Now, I'm working at a job that does just the opposite-if I work two minutes past my scheduled off time (usually because I'm wrapping up with a client) my boss expects me to actually log out when I'm done with the client.

We had to be ready to hit the floor at 2pm (start of my paid time), not show up then go get our radio & put on our vest. We had people show up for their 6pm shift at 6pm then slowly wander back down to security for their radio then back up to the staff room where they got themselves ready to go on the floor. Unfortunately the person was usually scheduled to be at a program that started at 6pm she wasn’t up there until 6:15 then have to find her place to sit like a lump on a log for 5hrs. and not interact with the clientele (she didn’t like them). Yes, we should’ve been paid for the 10mins prior to shift time but there were bigger fish to fry. At Sears they paid us until 9:10pm so we left the floor & were being paid for the time handing over the cash drawer.

I got to the office around 08:00 every day, and yet, my computer isn't turned on until the clock hits my official start time of 08:45. Those minutes before I get to work are spent on a pre-work nap. During this time, I do not check my emails, I do not answer any calls, nada. The CPU is booted up at 08:45 on the dot.

Working unpaid overtime devalues your time. If I’m really unproductive in the morning, I’ll shorten my lunch, but I generally do 8-12 and 1-5, unless I just need to wrap something up and go a little bit past 5

I use to go into the drivers restroom and have a catch up with other drivers. And the transport clerk called me over to the window and went to give me my paperwork for the day, I asked him if he was clocking me in at this time, said no. So I told him that I’ll be back to collect the paperwork when I was due to clock in. He wasn’t too happy with it

We get paid an extra 10 minutes a day to prepare, which is fine with me. There was once a discussion that you should be there before these 10 minutes because you should be ready by then. The conversation ended very quickly because that's what the 10 minutes are for and I don't get paid for more. Are you there 30 minutes before work start to smoke one? Good for you, I don't need it, thanks

how could we establish boundaries for work-life balance like this if we're salaried and our leads will just say "you're expected to work more or less hours accordingly" and it's never less hours. only more

Many places have an option for "8 and gone" which means work a flat 8 hours and go for the day, or a choice to take a 30 minute lunch in the middle.
