At work when management said due to iranian drone strikes and sirens we are supposed to go to bomb shelter rather than straight home, in the beginning of this conflict they said we are allowed to work from home later they said work from home is no longer allowed , when i said to my dad it’s unfair that we are not allowed to go home, he said
they aren’t paying you for free, others are also in similar condition what’s the big deal?
is that right or wrong? Or am i just over reacting
If you’re on the clock, they have an obligation to keep you as safe as possible, same as like in a fire drill where they have everyone leave the building.
On clock meaning? No i am not paid by the hour but the contract says i have to work 50 hrs per week
On the clock means, when you are working.
The phrase dates back at least to England in the 1900s when you had to put a card into a mechanical punch machine to record when you started and finished your shift, and likely before when it was recorded by the shift manager.
If they are paying you to be on premises, so if you are “on duty” so to speak.
Hours you would normally be working.
Yea but they allow some people to work from home and no they are not paying me to be on premises
If they told you work from home is no longer allowed, then yes, they are paying you to be on premises.
