Right, and it should be a guide that is appropriate to the actual workload, because it was based on that guide that the job was accepted in the first place. If the norm to get through a reasonable workload is actually more like 48 hours, then that should have been given as the guide amount. Basically, one shouldn't go in thinking one thing is expected of them and find out it's actually something more.adkm1979 wrote:Some of you keep on banging on about working for free, failing to grasp the fundamental difference between a wage and a salary.

Except that, in this case, the guide was 48 hours, and having employed Moto they found out he wasn't willing to do that.JonB wrote:If the norm to get through a reasonable workload is actually more like 48 hours, then that should have been given as the guide amount.

If your standard hours of work are that far above the average, you have a (maybe not legal) responsibility to ensure someone is aware of this before they start.adkm1979 wrote:Except that, in this case, the guide was 48 hours, and having employed Moto they found out he wasn't willing to do that.
