Employee-Employer Relations

Tweet

One of my friends has been working in an educational institution of high repute catering to higher education for the last one and a half years. The other day he informed me that he lost 26 hours overtime for the month of March. His work week is 42 hours per week and after that he used to get overtime. Now the HR department says that he will get over time after putting in 48 hours work in a week. He brought that matter to the notice of his supervisor who informed him that he would check that up with the HR department. Last week when he reminded his supervisor he informed hims that the school policy was to pay overtime after 48 hours work in a week and the auditors had picked that up now and are acting accordingly. His supervisor further him that it was the discretion of the management to do whatever they want and that the employee cannot do anything about that except that if anybody does'nt agree, he should just quit the job. My friend is very upset. Would any of my friends guide him as to what he should do under the circumstances.
