Meagan has just started her new role as a Dispatch Administrator in the warehousing
department of GIANT FACTORY and this is the first time that has worked for a company that
works on a shift system and that operates twenty hours a day and seven days a week
operations She has received her appointment letter and is most concerned. Her contract
says that she will be rostered to work on any day of the week, in line with the shift roster and
that it may include working on Sundays. She is very active in her church and really cant work
on a Sunday, as she runs the creche for the Church. Also, she may be required to work at
night which will be a really big challenge in terms of childcare for her children and transport
home at her shift. She can potentially get her mum to stay at her place on the nights she is
required to work, as her boyfriend also sometimes works the night shift. However, there are
no taxis to her home in the early hours from the company warehouse. Lastly, her overtime
rate for working on a Sunday differs from her boyfriend and that is unfair. Her contract says
that she will get paid her hourly rate and her boyfriend gets x his hourly.
Explain the terms of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act of as amended
and the Sectoral Determination for the retail sector and how it aligns with the conditions
of service in Meagans contract of employment.
