    Hi I work in a very well known and well established hotel in Dublin City Centre. And while working a morning shift over the weekend I was asked would I like to work some extra hours for a function later on that night. I agreed to work 7 to 11 that night as they asked. I came into work went down to te conference manager and he says he didn't hear anything about it.

    This has me very pissed of and any of the managers I ask any questions about my rights they just say 'leave it with me' its like they are just covering their own backs or some ****. Its sickening. I checked up www.employementrights.ie but it has no info on such a thing. I would be appreciative of any solid info thanx

    So they made a mistake regarding what shift you were on? That is not against the law...

    You should not have to pay for their mistakes. If they ask you to make yourself available for a particular time, they are liable to pay you for that time or a least a certain minimum period. In an industry where i once worked the minimum payment was for three hours. You can complain to a Rights Commissioner. They should have a formal system of notifying you in writing when you are offered extra work, and ensuring that all relevant people know about it.

    Wha? Just talk to to your manager afresh, dragging an external body into this minor cock-up is madness.

    if you do go into Citizens Information please do let us know what the gist of what they said to you is...their could be other people out there in similar situation...I went into my local branch a few years back and i must say they are worth their weight in gold
