Do i have to attend staff meetings after hours - if so should staff be paid for this? Are you exempt or non-exempt? If you get paid for overtime then yes the employer must pay you for attending meetings outside of the normal work hours. If they state the meeting is mandatory. If attendance at the meeting is voluntary or "suggested" then no. There is always give and take in these sort of situations. Can you hand-on-heart say that you've never arrived late for work? Was you pay deducted or did they pay you anyway? if the meetings are mandatory yes. If you are doing anything related to work in the work enviroment you are 100% correct to be paid. If you are not being paid you have a legal issue on your hands! you should be paid for these meetings. I was called into a meeting on my scheduled day off, and it lasted around 2 hours and I was paid for those 2 hours. however, im not sure if all employers have to pay for out of hours meetings. Does it say anything in your contract about it?xxx you need to add to the question location - state industry hourly or salary we aren't mind readers biz owner I would say what does your job require? Do you have a contract? That would a step toward the legal side, the other side is are you just an employee or a good employee? Is the company low on funds and the staff meeting is needed? Or is this a regular occurence meant to take advantage of staff? To me there are a lot of things to consider here. |
