How do you deal with false promises at work?
Get clarification on what they need from you (higher productivity, more work hours, attending more trainings) in order to get that promotion or raise. Clarify with your boss when they expect to be able to fulfill the promise. Keep in mind it is best to clarify expectations in-person at the time the promise is made.
How much more should my boss make than me?
Influential management consultant Peter Drucker once maintained to the Securities & Exchange Commission that the CEO pay gap should be no more than 20 to 25 times average worker salaries. Executive compensation higher than this leads to low worker loyalty and poor motivation.
When does my employer have to pay me for my work?
If you worked for three hours or more, your employer must pay you for the hours you worked. In some jobs, if you work less than 2 hours, your employer only has to pay for 2 hours of work. Those jobs are: part-time employees in recreational or athletic programs run by a city, town, Métis settlement or a not-for-profit community service organization
How do you deal with a boss who always asks about hours?
Rather than dealing with it instance by instance, raise the pattern with him. For example, say something like this: “I noticed that you ask me a lot about working extra hours. I want to be really, really clear that I can’t work more hours than the two days we’ve agreed to.
Do you have to take a break when working 5 hours?
Only if you work 5 hours or less. If you work more than 5 hours but less than 10 hours, you should get at least 30 minutes of rest. If you work 10 hours or more, you should get at least two rest periods of at least 30 minutes each. A break can be taken all at once or broken into two 15-minute breaks.
Can my employer make me go home early for no reason?
Your employer can send you home early if there isn’t enough work. If you worked for less than three hours, your employer must pay you at least minimum wage for three of hours of work (unless an exception applies – see below). A meal break of one hour or less is not part of the 3 consecutive hours of work.
