Yah... I'm scheduled to close, then back in 5 hours later to open and bake. This is probably the third time it has happened since I transferred to this store, I hate it. I really, really hate it.
This isn't right, I'm gonna get a short nap, feel sick and exhausted from a lack of sleep all morning, then go home and sleep through the middle of the day to catch up on what I missed!
and will I see overtime for this? No. I won't be able to clock in, and I'll have to beg someone to put me in manually, but I won't get overtime.
My last department head made it her personal policy to schedule people with 10 hours or more between shifts. A turn-around shift would be 8 hours between, and she'd ask if it was "OK" before scheduling it like that.
Seems to me that most every contract I have seen has an 8 hour turn around between shifts. If this is the third time it has happend to you and you have not contacted your union rep then you get what you deserve. Our contract has 8 hours between shifts and I make sure that it is done that way. Only one that is differant is mine on rare occations and that is by my scheduling.
Our contract says we get a minimum of 8 hours between shifts and if they don't give it to you they are suppose to pay you time and a half for the difference.
Ours are a contract-mandated 10 hours but yours may be different. Something seems wrong here. I would think just about any contract would specify a short rest period, yours included. Plus, regardless of whether you can clock in or not, if you are entered into the system manually, you should still receive overtime pay. You need to check into what the system shows you worked, because I have a hunch someone is adjusting your times later to avoid the overtime, which is a violation of labor laws.
I was scheduled a 6 hour layover this week but after speaking with the schedule makers I now have a day off before my super early shift. It still sucks they are doing me that way but it's a lot better than closing and coming back to open the next day.
