The Work Hours Call-in October 18, 2016

This is the question hour on Nightline.

This week we ask the simple question are we working too much?

Is there a better number of hours to be working and are we compensated when we go over the legal limits.

Not surprisingly the answer is few companies are paying workers for the extra time they are putting in.

Here are some of the talking notes.

What is a reasonable day of work for a nanny, cleaner, gardener?

Are maids compensated fairly and do they work reasonable hours?

Salary Increases? and CarTalk

We began the evening asking who is getting a salary increase? Lots of talk but is it just a myth?




We then jumped feet first into CarTalk with the the boy from motoringme.com, yes only 1 turned up!

Lots of great automotive discussion and we agreed for the 1st time!

What determines your salary?

Nightline asked if colour should or should not play a role in what you get paid?

It would seem that in some cases, in the UAE, our salary is based not on what we know but where we are from!

What are we doing about this?

Here is your take.

survey on employment

Maybe we spend too much time looking at stats of dubious value!

One thing is for sure nobody is every happy with their salary.

What are you doing about it?
