@@doge8676 Exactly! Basic workers rights are such an unknown commodity that no one in the U.S. can define them. I am fortunate NOT to be an American although I do have relatives who are and I have watched them work their fingers to the bone for little real annual rest. One of my relatives flew out to visit me in Australia halfway across the world from the 'States - for a single 24-hour stay - and he was constantly contacted by his U.S. company practically every minute - even when he was in the shower - he was here to see me. I couldn't believe it when his mobile kept ringing for this and that every hour of the day and night. When I asked him what those calls were for and if they were that important, he replied, sheepishly, that they called because no one in his department wants to accept the smallest personal responsibility for anything in his company - which is not a small organisation. Sure, he is in an executive position but still, it doesn't appear to be reasonable to me. During my working years, I refused to accept any company mobile phones or company SIM cards offered to me as I knew what strings are attached. I have my own personal phone and I didn't gave out my number to be contacted after hours. My personal time is mine and I didn't receive any blowback from my company because I refused to sign any contract that stipulates that I have to accept unarranged work beyond my agreed 40-hour working week. ~If and when there was a real need to work on weekends or even during my allotted annual holidays due to some emergency, I did it out of my own goodwill towards the company but not otherwise. I was not about to be forced into any unarranged "need to work after hours" situation. 😂😉😁
If my boss, disrespects my time im going to challenge him and its going to get really really intense, thus many times ive ended employment in extreme ways, but hey, i always find new work, change is great.
before when I was still working for a corp, they don't really contact me during day offs or after work. Maybe once in a year but doesn't happen often. I always try to present myself a s intimidating even when I'm not in real life so they would stop bothering me. So far it works and I haven't been fired so..
Reasonable is definitely the sticking point those of us on salary already have contracts allowing for additional hours within what is reasonable but just like here there is (as far as I’m aware) no recognised limit on the term reasonable which just leaves us open to employers arguing we get paid enough to justify the incursions regardless of the actual amount.
I only rarely message or call my employees after hours and I expect them to respond in a reasonable amount of time. If an employee employee wants to ignore me then they can work for someone else.
@@Aussie-Titan That's hilarious. I'm in the USA and only watch to see what normal looks like. I looked at the profile cause I thought it was one of the brainwashed redhats over here just spinning out.
If you pay them enough over minimum wage, you can add this into their employment contract. This law is mainly to protect minimum wage workers. And it’s fair enough that if an employer pays the minimum wage, the employer doesn’t get the maximum.
Rare for each employee but usual for the employers, essentially stealing free labour little bit from each and undercutting honest employers. Unless someone is dying or you lost a password there should be no reason to request work outside of hours. Either one of those show poor planning in first place.
We used to have this back in the 90's. It was called regular life.
We need this in the USA 🇺🇸
Good luck, we don’t even have basic workers rights
@@charliedallachie3539like what?

@@charliedallachie3539We actually do, but most people don’t even know them.
Reduce productivity? That translates to why can't I make my employees work unpaid overtime.
Yea. No pay = No work, it's simple; only filthy thives want otherwise.
God bless workers rights ❤
hahaha do people let their bosses do this?? mate set your own boundaries.
If my boss, disrespects my time im going to challenge him and its going to get really really intense, thus many times ive ended employment in extreme ways, but hey, i always find new work, change is great.
3:23 so laws will replace developing healthy personal boundaries? I don't see that working.
