Ek is n brandweerman en werk n 56 uur werk week oor n 3 week siklus 24 uur soft else. Die werkgewer het besluit om my nie meer nagskoftoelaag te betaal nie omdat ek bo kant die threshold verdien.Die ooreenkoms op basiese diensvoorwaardes sluit my uit maar die werkgewer verwag van my om nagskof te werk sonder om met my te onderhandel oor enige betaling of tyd af soos die ooreenkoms betaal.Die werkgewer het ook nie n nagwerk policy nie.Hoe maak ek om betaling te kry vir nagskof gewerk.

Antwoord aan Amor: Die feitelstel klink baie kompleks. Ons stel voor dat u ‘n afspraak met ‘n kundige in arbeidsreg reel sodat u behoorlik geadviseer kan word. Alternatiewelik kan u die Departement van Arbeid nader indien u nie onkostes wil aangaan nie.
