Can my Boss do this??

A S U · #1 03-06-2007, 12:57 PM

So for the last 4 years i've been working at this company. Schedule for all full-time employees has been Mon-Fri, fluctuated from 8-5 to 7:30-4:30. We are moving offices at the end of the month. My Boss is telling everyone that office is closed that Friday and we will work that Saturday to set up desk make sure we are 100% operational for Monday. So can my boss do this? I'm an hourly employee in CA. I've looked up California labor codes, but can't find anything, plus it's like 1500 pages long. Our employee manual does state office hours. Naturally I have plans that weekend, plus i'm a little ticked that I have to give up my weekend cause my boss is too cheap to pay extra for moving on a saturday.

Also feel free to add when a boss has tried to screw you.

jesus, just go to work, I doubt you are going to find much sympathy, and yes, he can do that.

You're gonna make a fuss about one day in 4 years?

Maybe this is why bosses have to be [censored].

A S U,

If you really want to get back at your boss, post on 2+2 all day. Oh wait...

Are you union? If so, your CBA should spell out what you can and can't be asked to work pretty clearly.

I know that as a supervisor, this is never something I'd do. Making people give up their weekends is way too [censored].

Guys,

You don't know if his boss can do this. You simply don't know enough about his job. This kinda stuff is FAR from universal.

I'm not looking for sympathy. I just wanna know if he can do it. He also hasn't told us which weekend in will be, either the 3rd or the 4th. Geez I guess i'm just unreasonable.
