Started a new (inside) contract on Monday, the Director I’m reporting to has stated on the 1st day ‘our working hours are x to x’, which amount to 10hrs (work hrs) over my contracted hours, on top of this ‘there’s an expectation’ to come in early & ‘we like to all leave together’ which is +2-4 hours per day (on top of the ‘our working hours’), so that brings things upto roughly 10-30hrs above my contracted (weekly) hours. The one other contractor who is there is doing the excessive hours out of fear of not fitting in/losing his contract.
I spoke to the recruitment agency, they said they’d have to speak to the Hiring Manager, but I don’t want to ruffle feathers.
1. Can anyone advise what I can do? Besides ‘work the hours or quit’?
2. if you’ve been in the situation can you share your experience & what you did?
