VIC Is Saturday an Annual Leave Day?

[Jason Milne]

I work Monday to Saturday for a salary they say that we are paid for 55hrs in which we may be required to work some overtime. Most weeks I work excess of 60hrs.

I had a Saturday off given that I’d already worked 65hr during the week. My boss has decided that Saturday is an annual leave day without consulting me. Is this legal under employment law?

If you work Monday - Friday full time, then don’t work Saturday, is Saturday considered to be an annual leave day?

The day cannot be both a RDO and annual leave day. Has to be one OR the other.

Tell the boss you now want your RDO.

You may well have other claims as working 55 hrs /wk on a regular basis is likely unreasonable.

Let me know if you want to consider all your other options, though note other options may result in loss of the job. Many times consideration of other options is only done when health is impacted or the job is about to go/has gone.
