So to do it on her own makes her feel awkward and like she is making a stand. She feels a little bullied into going because everyone else is.

    I agree with you it is probably more of an ask than compulsory, but she feels it been put like they have too attend. She likes her job and has friends there but feels at times because she always says yes they have a tendancy play on her.

    Btw i think this was something similar to what i seen regarding pay and i dont think its applicable........its californian for a start lol not sure if same applies in UK

    Reporting time pay for hours in excess of the actual hours worked is not considered wages, and is not counted as hours worked for purposes of determining overtime. The specific requirements for reporting time pay are:
    • Each workday an employee is required to report to work, but is not put to work or is furnished with less than half of his or her usual or scheduled day's work, the employee must be paid for half the usual or scheduled day's work, but in no event for less than two hours nor more than four hours, at his or her regular rate of pay.
      For example, if an employee is scheduled to report to work for an eight-hour shift and only works for one hour, the employer is nonetheless obligated to pay the employee four hours of pay at his or her regular rate of pay (one for the hour worked, and three as reporting time pay). Only the one-hour actually worked, however, counts as actual hours worked.
    No it doesn't apply tot he UK. you are only entitled to the hours you worked, plus any additional travel time that is on top of your normal travel time to and from work.

    However it is optional as to whether a person works more than their contracted weekly hours in any given week. They can not force you to work more than your contracted hours.

      I call Asda Walmart just like I used to call Abbey Santander years before the name change.

      Walmart are well-known for mistreating their employees. Perhaps they are all now contingent workers with zero hour contracts?

      From a consumer's point of view Walmart is cheap and my local one is well-stocked, easily beating Tesco.

      My guess is that from a legal point of view, you couldn't be forced to attend, unless your contract has clauses to cover those situations.

      Did you attend? If so, what was so important for Walmart to call a meeting on the last Sunday before Christmas?

        My understanding coincides with yours, Mr $.

        Wallmart would appear to play a long game, having the huge capital base to undercut all rivals (to trade at a loss) until all rivals go out of business then Wallmart has the field to itself...:santa3:

        As far as the OP is concerned - I'm sorry but IMVHO you might as well go whistle, because fairness doesn't come into it.
