I mean if your job - and the industry you work in - is normally Monday to Friday office hours?
I have recently been asked to work over 2 weekends, one of them involved an entire Saturday from 9am to past 11pm, most of which was actual work, the rest being on standby (but i couldn't do anything or go anywhere between bouts of work), followed by a 6 hour stint the next day.
And last weekend I agreed to work on an urgent and highly strategic project that took me a total of 7 hours over the two days.
My understanding when accepting the work was that i'd get paid double time for all those hours, plus some time off to recover. But my boss is now disputing this, citing project profitability, probably because he's realised just how much he has to pay me.
Who is being unreasonable? What would you expect for this sort of work?
