Recently, i got a temp from a particular agency to work for a
company, which has directly hired me b-4. However, this agency has
set a condition that we have to work beyond a 44 (9hrs * 5) hrs a
wk in order to claim the balance OT pay.
This leads me to a few issues. Firstly, the normal working hr is
from 8.30am to 6.15 & if i start work on wed, & let say if
i work beyond to 9 or 10pm (OT), from wed to fri, 12 hrs per day
including of normal working hours & OT hours which only
accumulate ard 36 hrs for 3 days. This mean that 36 hrs is only
based only on my basic pay /hr & are not inclusive of my OT
charges. In another word, the agency will only pay me under normal
rates.
Secondly, if that a day in week happen to fall on a PH, which mean
to acheive a minimum of 44hrs in order to claim our OT pay is seem
almost impossible. Example, 9hrs* 4days = 36hrs.
Previously, when i was working with this company, the calculation
of pay is rather direct & explicit, which easily differential
bet normal working hrs & OT hrs, but now they outsource their
HR to the agency, things is never like b-4, for instance, they do
not hav the minimum 44 hrs condition.
I yet to speak to the person in charge of this job, as i hope to
gather more knowledge & reference b-4 i can proceed to argue on
the behalf of my employees as well as for me.
Here to seek ur advice.
