Reasonable Overtime?

[chody47]

I don't know much about the hospitality industry, but I feel that if you agreed to get $x for 7.6hrs work with some reasonable overtime but were actually working close to double that on a regular basis then its not at all reasonable and he should either not do the overtime (or at least not so regularly), should be paid for the overtime or should have an increase in his wage.

You are right though LS that is the hours needed to complete the daily task at hand. And yep thats part of his role as 2ic. We were just talking about how there is no definition in his contract for the term reasonable overtime. We were talking about how saying 7.6hrs on the work contract sounds great, but the reality is working double that almost every day.
And yeah Chody, thats what we were thinking.

Also we know that if people were paid an hourly rate, then a lot of services would not be available, and thats not just hospitality, it happens in every industry.
