Can your employer force you to make up for the hours same day or other day of the week or in near future? Is there any labour laws surrounding this?
I guess if this is an ongoing issue it is grounds for being fired. But twice in 3 month period?
And for those who are wondering, yes I was late. My direct manager tried to force me to make up for it immediately, and I escalated it above her manager and he agreed with me. I'm scheduled for up to certain hour of the day, and if I'm late deduct the hours from my pay. My direct manager refused and said that cannot be done. She came up to me last week and asked if I can do full time hours for her next two weeks. I said specifically no and gave her my reason for doing so, not that I had to. She knows full well why I can't stay. I talked to her superior about being forced to stay, and he understood my situation and didn't keep me that day.
Given the sudden turn of events, I am considering either a transfer or simply quitting. And I currently have another full time job elsewhere as well, so I do have something else to fall back on.
If only she treats her employees the same way she treats her customers. Me and this other new hire are relatively young (25, 22) and feel she treats us like she treats her kids. She openly criticises us in front of customers and other colleagues. Once she wanted this girl to sit down and watch a video and this girl was moving around getting coffee for herself and she yelled loudly her name, in front of all other colleagues 😱
Yesterday, she grilled me about a mistake I made. She made a comment that this is not the first time and happened a few times in recent past. I asked her why she didn't bring it to my attention and she said it was little things, that's why. I made the comment that if you don't make me aware, you're not giving me the chance and time/space to make improvements. Her direct manager agreed as well. It simply isn't fair that without warning she comes full force at me.
Given this, how would you handle the situation? The only reason I can mutter up for staying is the fact that I need the money.
