he is 2ic at work and he's in hospitality. We expect the overtime and all that, and it never really bothers us. But at the moment things are a tad pear shaped there and well the boss wants more hours out of him. According to the boss there is to be no breaks except toilet breaks. No split shifts allowed, which splits alone would cut back on his hours yet the same amount of work would be achieved.
but as I said we expect the hours and are used to it, but its the term reasonable that we are unsure about. Today for instance he started at 6am that shift is meant to finish at 2pm, but he is working straight through because that is reasonable to the bosses. So after 2pm should be overtime, but is that reasonable?
