I stared my job early last year as an Event Coordinator for my city, which is a field I have been in for about 4 years. I enjoy the work and have never had a problem with the hours because I was fairly compensated for overtime. Because of the nature of the job, I must work weekends and many holidays. It can be a high stress job, as many times i am working an entire week for at least 10-12 hours a day. I do not have any benefits, and was recently told that I will only get 5 paid days off this year (not including holidays, which I work). Furthermore, i do not get comp. time. If I work 100 hours one week, I feel like I should be compensated somewhere. Also, because I do not oversee any employees, I am legally only supposed to work 40 hours /wk. I have approached my boss about the situation numerous times, and the answer I get is that "that is the policy". What do I do? Do I talk to her boss, which is a board of directors? Am I asking to be compensated too much?
