golayz | Our company general meeting falls on my day off, can i claim overtime fees if i attend this meeting? |
Our manager told us that we can't claim overtime fees because "its an employee responsibility". Is this true? |

Depends what your contract states........ but you should normaly be paid overtime OR given time off in leaue.
You can not normaly be forced to work overtime unless its states in your contract that you are expected to work a reasonable amount of overtime, it then falls down to the interpretation of reasonable. |

Depends on your employment contract. Usually, professionals are expected to attend this type of meeting on their own dime, even if it is madatory. Of course, it may not be madatory, and if it isn't, you really can't claim overtime for something that's not required as part of your employment. Why not ask your manager for "comp time", time off from work not charged as vacation in lieu of pay. |

Are you sure you have an obligation to be at this company general meeting?
All I ever do is ask for a copy of the minutes of the meeting.
Seems to me your boss is denying you a day off and making you in effect work without pay.
Crap idea. Just don't bother to turn up. If your boss wants a fight, here's what you do.
Go on line today and join a trade union, the Transport and General Workers Union or it's equivalent will do. When you fill in the form, make sure that the Union send a copy of same to your company accounts department. This will enable your firm to legally deduct the weekly/monthly union membership fee. It will also mean that your boss will then know you are in a union and he cannot mess with you.
Do it today.

you are attending the AGM as a shareholder and not as an employee, so the answer is no you can't claim overtime. Do the directors' get paid overtime? I think not. |

Yes. If you do show up, you'll rate an "attaboy" bt if you don't the wrong people may be unphappy with you.
Isn't your job important enough to you to make this small sacrifice? |

that depends on a lot of factors. are you under contract? do you work 40hrs/week? employers are required to pay for meetings in most states--i get paid OT to attend my meetings. but im not a salary employee. look for that giant workers rights poster @ you job |

i was lucky every time i was told we had meetings, i was happy to be there on my day off. they set up the meeting, i was told it was mandatory, and they had to pay for up to 4 hours even if the meeting ran 1 hour. i don't know if it was labor law, or just the hotel business employee hand books. 6 hotels, and the same with mandatory meeting pay. |

No, he has to give you another day in lieu of your day off, if you have to attend on your day off. If you wish advice contact your local ACAS office. |

No -overtime is only paid for hours actually worked over 40 in a weeks time. |
