Sometimes a business may need workers to stay beyond the originally scheduled end time.
Do I have to stay?
No. Agreeing to a shift extension is always voluntary. You are not obligated to stay beyond your original shift end time. However, if you do agree to stay, the additional hours will be reflected in your pay.
How is extended time paid?
You will be paid for all time worked, including the extended period, at your agreed shift rate. If the extension pushes you into overtime territory (e.g., over 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week), overtime rates will apply where required by law. See: How Overtime Pay is Calculated.
How does the extended time get recorded?
If you stay beyond the scheduled end time, the business will update the shift end time in the system, or you will clock out at the actual time you finish. Your pay will be calculated based on your actual clock-out time.
What if I wasn't paid for the extra time?
If your pay does not reflect the hours you worked, contact Traba Support and include the shift date, location, and the time you actually worked.
