=== | ===Averaging agreements=== | ||
If you’re covered by BC’s employment standards law, you can enter into an '''averaging agreement''' with your employer. In effect, an averaging agreement allows your employer to compress your regularly scheduled work week into fewer, longer work days without paying the usual overtime. | |||
To use a simple example: If you usually work 40 hours a week, on average, under a one-week averaging agreement, your employer could schedule you to work for 10 hours a day for the four busiest days of work. In this case, your 40-hour, five-day work week has been "averaged" to fit into four days of 10 hours each. No overtime is paid for the 10-hour days. | |||
Averaging agreements can be complicated. See the People’s Law School website for more on [https://www.peopleslawschool.ca/everyday-legal-problems/work/getting-paid/hours-work-and-working-overtime averaging agreements]. | |||
