i would think that you should get paid for the hours which has been written on your employment contract.

Non-profit organizations have to follow the same employment rules as everyone else. From what I understand, employment regulations are different for each state. Do you have the option of going home instead of staying overnight? If so, I can see why you wouldn't get paid - they're providing you a place while you're off duty. If not, I think you should get paid. As for the wrist, lights duties sound appropriate - you may need a doctor's note. In an emergency, you are less able to help until you heal - their excuse about "there might be an emergency" is a guilt-trip excuse. I'm glad you enjoy your job and the people you are blessed to assist. It's important that you and your fellow employees are treated fairly as it will affect the care of the residents.

Not sure of the legal stand point but,
If your contracted for 12 hour shifts I think you should get paid 12 hours for paid leave. If your contracted for 8 hour shifts but do 4 hours over time each shift then I think your only entitled to 8 hours pay for leave days.
How ever as part of wage negotiations try asking for average over time hours on top of contracted hours. This was the deal our union got when I was a bus driver.

If your 12 hour shifts include two one hour breaks or an accumulated number of hours' worth of breaks then this may well be right. When I take leave I am only paid seven hours' wages for each day because I work an eight hour day and one hour of that is spent on breaks. If this is not the case then you are well within your rights to speak to your union if you have one (if you are not a member join it) if you do not have a union go and talk to your personnel department.

Im not sure if it's right, but if it was on your job description when you got hired than that means that you approved of it. So stop complaining and either do something about trying to change this or get a knew job, and if you are going to continue working there just stop talking about the things you can't do anything about.

Yeah pretty much, Most companies will only pay a 40 hour weekly salary on leave, sick and Vacation so it would only estimate an eight hourly wage.

Worked in the Security industry and thisis what happened there.
Could call it unethical, but legal.

No.Your holiday pay should match the hours you usually work, if your hours vary week to week then you should be paid on the average weekly hours.

If that was the policy when you accepted the job, then that is what you agreed to. That MAKES it right.
