Re: Should a manager manage?
"Which, you realize, doesn't necessarily make it legal for you to require them to work these hours without additional pay, right?"
I'm not a lawyer so I can't say with any amount of certainty but when each person was interviewed for their job they were told about the possibility of these type situations. I think I did touch on that in my orig post.
So what about that wasn't legal?
"Yep, that's what you should have done to begin with. You've hosed this up royally by creating the expectation that you are available and are the default for extra pours."
Maybe so but I can only speak for how I have viewed things in the past. I wouldn't let someone else do all the extra stuff while I go home. Maybe a flaw in my personality is hoping/expecting the people I work with to do their share.
