Show it anyway...why would it being their uncle matter?
In situations like these, which I've been in myself, it's usually some family member that owns a place and wants their younger family member work for free
I'd probably be more likely to say no to a family member because I'd expect them, of all people, not to take advantage of me.
Given the person is from UAE, culture is different there, you can't just deny an elder
Ah. Didn't look at the place. Good point.
He's not even thankful for the hard work and hours you've put in! Isn't it illegal for the company not to pay you for your time worked anyway? I hope you said no. It sounds like you're exhausted. Good luck!
A lot of "on call" work isn't paid if you get paid salary rather than hourly.
Don't forget this is in the United Arabia emrites so the laws mighty be different around what they pay yo for
if they're on salary, doesn't really matter a diff.
@4 Yeah I can't think of a situation where you can be told to work without compensation? If anything, shouldn't you be paid *more* for overtime hours? I mean maybe it's different if you're a salaried employee.
I'm salaried for 40 hours, and I've worked weekends and stay late regularly. We don't get paid for those extra hours.
Anything over 40 is pay and a half, so to not get paid for a good chunk of the next 30 hours is nastiness in itself.
If you get paid salary rather than hourly, many companies don't pay you for extra work. They say it is covered in your salary throughout the year, or your bonus reflects the extra hours you put in.
he's in the United Arab Emirates. different laws
It's a different country American labor laws don't apply over there
The extra pay policies works differently for different countries
She's a woman. In the UAE. I really can't see how that would bode well for her, *especially* if she's not an Emirati. Migrant workers are treated like moldy asscheeks. They're not quite on the level of our Saudi "friends" in terms of human rights violations, but they do their fair share of bullshit.
Punch your boss and fail your drug test.
Um then say no? This would definitely be your fault if you took the hours knowing he told you he wasn't going to pay you for them ahead of time.
If you're not being paid, then don't do it.
