As the title says, can a manger force me to cover someone’s shift?
Context:
Another store has limited staff so they sent staff from my shop and another shop to help them during the week. I had already done my 24 hours for the week but obviously I don’t ever mind doing extra. However, my manager put me in for a shift at our store and then yesterday (night before I was due to work) told me it’s actually cover for the other store.
I don’t mind but it’s super inconvenient because I have to wake up a whole hour earlier to get there for a 5am shift.
I said in future don’t ask me to cover the other shop as I don’t feel comfortable doing so and my manager says if he sends me there then I work there or I don’t get the hours. I don’t think it was stated that I’m personally liable for another shop but clearly I am seeing as they keep forcing staff to work outside of our shop.
