Overtime with ‘Heavy and Light’

Post by FirstPost »

No more working rest days
No more ghosting docket
You only get paid for what you work and even then the company clearly dont want you working over your time as it’s below normal rate

Why would the company pay overtime when they can get work out of the majority of the workforce for free!? Halfwits are coming in hours each week before their start times!

Overtime is created through sick, there will still some form of overtime, especially coming in on your rest day.
