Always having to work overtime?
I worked until 1 yesterday, even though I was only supposed to stay until 9. That always throws off my rhythm. But the team needed me yesterday because they were busy. Would it have been selfish if I had left anyway? It's happened before. Is it the boss's job to schedule enough staff?
I don’t know your company.
I also work more hours a day than I would have to, but I also take the liberty under the day, if I don’t like something to step back and do something for my work live balance.
And with all the answers here, no one seems to have thought much.
Staff also wants to pay wages and to be able to pay wages it also needs the necessary money.
This money, in turn, comes from sales and the resulting profit after all costs have been deducted.
These are things that such advisers do not think about.
The profit margins are often not so large to be able to recruit so much redundant staff, which normally has nothing to do
Because people’s illnesses cannot be planned.
And only the personnel dropout that does nothing all day does not fall out and does not spread to the rest.
Therefore, in a good company this can happen.
But if your colleagues are more often ill, then your boss should consider exchanging them against healthy.
So to complain here that you had to work more.
I also assume that your boss will pay you this extra effort so that you can compensate for this time another time if it’s a little quieter.
Such a thing should also be normal.
Is a minijob
of this is nothing in your question.
I don’t know, because I only know Maxijob, which means that I worked mainly more than 100% in my life.
I think this topic is ubiquitous. Since I work in the social field, especially. I myself am not a stallion of paragraphs and remain even longer if there is no other possibility, of course, taking into account the additional working time and corresponding compensation on another day, which I will determine ideally.
I’m working in the hospital, so I’m going to refer to it.
There are now also numerous court judgements. No one can usually commit to stay longer or jump in. You can only be obliged if there is an emergency situation. However, this is never the case in Germany, even not in the clinics (except for example if a patient had to be reanimated to the strata or other unpredictable things occur, which I do not mean, it is only disease failures). For example, with a clinic of 700 employees, it is reasonable to find someone else who would have worked anyway. It is also the task of the clinic to have a concept for personnel bottlenecks (e.g. a jumper pool on call).
And an emergency situation is not when several people are sick on a station on the same day, this is usually seen on the clinic only a small percentage of workers with whom a clinic has to count.
In practice, these concepts do not exist, of course, as they would cost money. This is not our problem as a worker. Therefore, it is also the task of the employer to get clear with appropriate situations, as long as they usually had enough time to plan what is appropriate as long as the clinic is open for more than 6 months. There is also a court ruling that it is reasonable for the clinics to have such a concept within 6 months of the opening.
This means for us, as employees: we do not need to be accessible if we have free or vacation, nor are we obliged to jump in, nor are we obliged to stay longer.
On the other hand, this also means for you: theoretically you can stand up and go. You fulfill your contractual and legal obligations. If your service was scheduled by 13:00, it’s your duty to keep your working time. Just like it’s mandatory to stop at his break times. If you don’t, and a examiner recognizes this or finds out, your employer must pay a penalty or be exhorted. So this is only seen from this waiting – there would be violations, if necessary, against the labour law or the labour law.
You should discuss this with the boss… planning problems he must consider and solve …
sudden emergencies or sudden, massive medical reports (e.g.) he cannot foresee
Personal planning is a matter of responsibility and you don’t always have to jump in against your own needs. Learn no to say.
I would have said no, but everyone was sick and I was the only one who could have done this job.
That’s not your problem. Your problem is that there are such situations too often, thanks to your boss’s bad personnel planning.
Ultimately, it’s your health that suffers from it and your boss will certainly not support you if you get sick. He’ll make you a foolish conscience.
You’re right
