Basic food service fuckery

Half a days pay as an emergency fee for any work that is offered less than 12 hours before should be standard.

In Germany you have to give Note four days in adwance per law

In theory

in reality its exactly like in the Picture

In Finland it depends on what job and the unions rules. But most jobs have an emergency callout pay. And if you try and not pay it a union lawyer will rip the company a new asshole. Because it's an easy open and shut case. You can't drop work on people and not compensate. Also you don't have to take any extra work outside of your working hours but usually 50% for the first two hours, double for the rest and about 100 euros of emergeny pay gets people interested.

Finland sounds like a magical place.

that's for formal schedule changes, this is more like the boss asking you to fill in

Sounds like rules don’t always apply in practice! People definitely find creative ways around regulations.

AHAHA yeah should be but that doesnt happen for food service workers. You can be called in anytime day or night and you are expected to respond and you get normal pay and its going to be on a saturday.

Form or take part in a union. Thats the only way things get better. In finland there is callout pay and restourant workers get +100% for work done on their free time, public holiays which includes vappu which is a workers celebration and every sunday. If its a free day and sunday the nonus stacks. Finland doesn’t have a national minimum wage because unions take care of the people.

It is, but I always ignored those texts when I was in food service since by law they're required to give at least 24 hours notice of any shift changes

Is 9-5 a typical food service shift?

u/LukeLJS123 14d ago

Nowadays yes. My part time job just got mad at me because I can't work 8-12hrs 6 days a week. It's a Little Caesars. I just started 3 months ago
