I have a question about the interpretation of the BCEA Rule on payment for work on sundays.
What would be considered Ordinarily. Our company operates from Monday to Friday 8-6 and Saturday & Sunday and Public holidays 9am - 5pm.
We rotate the weekends and public holidays amongst the members of the call centre.
The rotation as advised by the company at the time, started on a once every 5th week basis, as we were 5 staff in the call centre, 1 staff member left, the company did not replace and then changed our rotation to once evert 4, without consultation.
Would that make me an occasional(x2) Sunday worker or and ordinarily/normal(x1.5 / x1.33) Sunday worker.
This pertains to the grievance I had lodged
Thanks and regards.
