Demanded to Work Unpaid Hours
A young father was deliberately bullied out of his job by Caltex because he couldn’t continue to work for free after his wife had a baby.
This is about the dreadful antics of a successful kiwi couple, Michael and Simone Glen, who owned three Caltex service stations in Christchurch. The victim is a manager of the Redwood Caltex in Christchurch.
I’ll call him Raj. He had been employed by the Glens for four years. Two years ago, Raj was promoted to manager of the petrol station. Athough he signed a contract for 80 hours a fortnight, he said he was instead required to work between 90 and 110 hours a fortnight. An average of 10 hours a week unpaid work, over two years, adds up to many thousands of dollars.
