Minimum wage is minimum wage.

Haven't a clue what the story is, but I'd say someone else here does.
In the unlikely event that you can't find an answer here, you can always try the Work board.




Yes I'm bored

I'd say you might make more than minimum wage as its christmas week. You'll get at least the minimum wage anyway.

whatever you do don't think they're doing you a favour.. cos it's you're doing them a favour..
you're temporary.. they must still pay you min wage and give you prescribed breaks etc.
and if you work over the 39 hours they should give you time and a half for it.. if they don't automatically say it when you start.. I'm sure they'll need all the help they can get and won't be so quick to give you a reason to walk out!!!

Mon 4pm - 12am

Wed 4pm - 12am

Thurs 5pm - 1am

Fri 2pm - 6pm 4 hours

So thats 56 hours,
but if you only take a full week fr til fri its 51 hours. So is it the law that i get paid 7 an hour for first 39 hours and then time and a half for the other 12???

What can i do if they don't pay properly?

as a student u if u only work 20 hours u get paid 6.50 an hour. but as ur workin 56 ur entitled to 7 and overtime. ur overtime is based on the hours u do in a day not every hour over 40.

not paid for 1 hour(lunch)

Also 56hours * 7euro = 392 euro :mad:

Adam

yeah but with all the time and a half... i didnt actually work it out but i imagine it'll be closer to 500 than 392... at least you got work, i'm broke...

Adam

haha, sickener, you got your sig removed!

Tiriel

I don't think that's correct.. but I'm no expert!!
Check here for info on wages.. re. min wage..
min wage
and here for hours..
hours/breaks etc

The General

So does anyone know for a fact if i get over time, or is over time done on a day to day sort of thing

Tiriel

not for definite.. overtime whenever I got it was based on the 39 hour week. any hours over that were on time n a half.. other than that, Sunday's were double time. I'm not sure if they are obliged to give it or not.. just ask.. or maybe ask a fellow member of staff on ur break on day 1.. find out if they get it and then if you are askin management for it you know whether others are gettin it or not

Legal overtime is time and half for hours worked during week , 1st 4 hours on a saturday time and a half and everyone after double time.
Sunday is double time all day , unless your working a shift then it may vary.
39 hours must be accumulated before you are paid over time , some companies pay regardless, i doubt yours is one of them.

If you start after 12pm in the day you are entitled to eve shift allowance, somehow i doubt you will get this.

As you can see form my post this is what you should get, but you will be screwed

Please post back and tell us how they screwed you, the above is what your are entitled to.

Do you want to work there again ?

Not every employer pays shift allowance, particularly if you are doing straight evenings.

plus if they classify him as being in training they dont have to pay the full minimum wage.

eirebhoy

I thought the minimum wage was €7.60 but that link has proved me wrong. I doubt you'll be paid €7 an hour, very few places would pay as low as that.

Cactus Col

get in touch with Mandate and see what they say. http://www.mandate.ie/

If i work after 12 ay night should i get time and a half cos some ppl are telling me this???

billy the squid

only if it is overtime, more than eight hours in the one day, that is assuming you are working more than 40 hours in one week.

cajun_tiger

why dont you ring and ask??

Civilian_Target

Yes - ask your manager "How much am I being paid for these hours?"
