Asking about weekend overtime pay
---
Hi. I have been working for a copy company for 2 years. We have a scheduled weekend work so that every employee works on weekends 1 out of 5 weeks. Sometimes the workload is big, so management asks people who are not scheduled to work on weekends. They can refuse to work. I almost always say yes. A lot of times I work alone operating 5 copy machines, instead of 1. We are not paid overtime for a weekend work, unless its more then 80 hours per 2 week pay period. Sometimes we work only 75 hours for 2 week, so weekend work can add 5 more hours towards 80 hours of normal pay and I get 3 extra hours of overtime pay if I work 8 hours on weekend. But since I operate 5 machines and I am not scheduled to work on that weekend, I want my manager to give me overtime pay for every hour worked on a weekend. Besides this, the company owes me some unpaid break time which amounts to about $400, we both know it but I don't do anything hoping to get a compansation in another form, like accepting my weekend overtime pay proposition. What is the most ethical way to approach this negotiation? My communication and business ethics skills are not very good and I don't want to loose a career because of some small detail that I did wrong. Thank you. |
