Re: Who's had a Bad Day? Come vent.

It may be a legal thing. Where I live you're required by law to have a 30 minute break for every five hours that you work, which means that working for more than five hours with no break has the potential to get the company into legal trouble. It doesn't matter how legit your reason is, corporate frowns heavily on it because they could get into some serious legal shit over it.

That's probably the reason - 30 minutes if you're there 5+ hours is pretty normal, as labour laws go.

But they should be penalizing the supervisors for keeping employees over their scheduled time, not the employees for not risking getting shit by refusing to stay late. It's one thing if someone's consistently not getting their own work done and going over their scheduled time because of it, it's entirely another when they're being asked by their superiors to cover for someone and getting stuck late.

Yeah, it sounds to me like this company probably already got into some legal shit over this before, and they made this rule specifically to cover their asses so they don't get fined/closed/whatever the next step of the escalation policy is.

This is the kind of rule that looks better on paper than in practice. If you're Corporate HR, you're thinking that if everyone knows that they can get fired if they go over 5 hours then no one can hold it against them if they refuse to work over. In practice, that only works until someone bullies or sweet-talks some poor sap into working extra time, and then the coerced person gets punished instead of the coercer.
