Hi,
My employment contract states that:
I am paid for 37.5 hours of work per week.
I have been with this employer for 6 years
I start work at 7am and finish at 330pm = 8 1/2 hr day
I have 30 minutes for unpaid lunch break, means I work 8 hrs / day.
Given that I work 8 hrs / day x 5 days means that I work a 40 hour standard working week.
At times I am required to work back at work which I do not have any issue with.
Therefore in my standard working week I am expected to work an extra 2.5hours / week and to not be paid.
I am an award free employee.
Is the employer obliged to pay me for the extra hours which I work which are not overtime ?
They say that they are not obliged to pay any thing more than 37.5 hours as per the agreement.
