MONDAY SA CANCELLED!

Post by fosal29 »

Hi, We have in our office a 6.5 hour SA duty every Saturday and Monday. The people who cover this duty all have signed SA contracts. Next Monday because we only have a few people on leave we have surplus staff so the duty is covered. The new manager has basically said tough luck the SA is cancelled. Is this correct? should the SA payment still be paid? Thanks in advance.

They don't want to end the contracts they just don't want to pay 6.5 hours for Monday when all duties are covered.
