Increased working hours from 20 to 30 hours per week without asking?

diefragende78Bydiefragende78

I have a contract for an average of 20 hours a week, and I work in a nursing home with early and late shifts.

Now, once again, I'm working 30 hours one week, and then only 15 the following week.

When I asked what the hell was going on, the only response was that I had so many negative hours. But they weren't my fault, but the previous department head's. They were planned for negative hours for no reason, and complaints simply didn't help.

I'm not physically healthy, so I'm working 20 hours. And I have six days on duty a week with one day off in between.

That can't be allowed, can it?

They can't just increase my working hours by ten hours in one week, can they? Unfortunately, there's nothing in my employment contract regarding overtime.

I have a contract for an average of 20 hours per week

Is the contract for more than 20 hours a week or an average of 20 hours a week? Because if it actually says "average," then it's perfectly possible to have to work significantly more at times, as long as the average remains at 20 weeks.

Wenn du einen Vertrag über wöchentlich 20h hast, dann dürfte das I.d.R. nicht zulässig sein. Vor allem dann nicht, wenn sich die Minusstunden dadurch ergeben haben, dass du nicht geplant worden bist. Auf die Planung hast du ja keinen Einfluss.

Wenn ihr einen Tarifvertrag habt, dann kann sich aber auch ein Blick in diesen lohnen. Unser Tarifvertrag verbietet z.B. Überstunden bei Teilzeitkräften, außer AG und AN willigen beide ein. (Und das bezieht sich dann auch jeweils auf konkrete Fälle und ergibt keine dauerhafte Absprache). Im Gegenzug kann ich als TZ Kraft natürlich auch nicht frei nehmen, wenn ich keine Überstunden aufgebaut habe.
