Question:

Charles works ten hours a day. He receives a 20 minute unpaid break each shift. His hourly wage is $15.00 per hour. He normally works six days a week for a total of 60 hours per week. Charles has entered into an oral agreement with his employer stating that his overtime will be banked, instead of being paid out.

After 5 weeks of banking his overtime, his employer allowed him to take paid time off. Charles took one week off and therefore had 36 hours of banked time remaining.

This time off was a welcome break for him and a nice addition to the two weeks of vacation that he is entitled to receive from the company.When he came back, he had to help them catch up as it was busy when he was off. He even had to come in for Sunday for ten hours.

Charles has just received a letter from his company stating any unused banked time will be lost if he does not take it by the end of the year. In addition, he has been informed that he will lose any unused vacation time if it is not taken prior to the end of the year.

Charles was also docked $1000 in pay because his company computer was stolen and the company had to spend money to purchase a new computer.

Charles has come to you for advice and is asking whether his company is following the law. Explain everything the company is doing wrong with respect to Charles' employment.
