Boy, this sounds like it's becoming a common occurrence. Myself and many others where I work were not properly compensated for overtime work either.
Perhaps it's some sort of budget cutting idea management came up with to make their numbers look good?
Anyway, under the copy of the central supplement I found online, it states...
" Part-time employees when reporting to work as scheduled, shall be guaranteed a minimum of three and one-half (3-1/2) hours; should any part-time employee work beyond the fifth (5th) hour, he/she shall be paid one and one-half (1 1/2) times his/her regular hourly rate for those hours worked in excess of five (5) on that day."
This should be found under Article 11-Part-time employees; section 1 paragraph 2.
From what I understand, the one way management can easily circumvent this is if you "volunteered" to work an extra shift, which would mean you would not receive overtime pay until you worked more than 8 hours.
Hmmm, as I'm reading the supplement, I also found section 6 interesting...
Section 6
All part-time employees shall be given a paid break of ten (10) minutes per shift or part-time operation. Breaks shall not be scheduled prior to one (1) hour of work being performed.
So, am I to believe that we are allowed a 10 minute break during our regular shift? Or, am I relying on an outdated copy of the supplement?
