It’s still common practice in Canada to give your home phone number to your employer for after-hours support. I still believe it’s preferable to pay someone standby pay for after-hours support and leave everyone else alone. How does it work in your country?
I am curious to see how this will work in the private sector because the concept of work hours is quite ambiguous, especially in IT. In my case, I don’t have a fixed working hour. As long as I work for eight hours at any time of the day, my company is cool with it.
while this is a good step, i’m afraid that it wouldn’t matter much in the end.
see, in every group of us indians, there’s always one arsehole that will look to toady up to the supervisors; to show that they are working harder than the others. it’s this dumbass that will not disconnect and the brainless middle-managers will showcase their „hard work“ as an example to the rest of the team. and this slippery slope will render any „rights“ ineffective.
no, what we need is a bill that makes overtime payment mandatory. one that punishes *shareholders* and active promoters for any unpaid overtime conducted by their organisations with a hefty fine calibrated to their income. when the bosses have to pay for overtime, they will look to scale back on asks for such wage-thefted work. that’s the most robust way to stop companies from exploiting their workforce.
Naru must be fuming.
How about spam calls from India.
