Add Comment Question: My husband has been employed with this organization for 9 months. During this time he has consistently worked overtime. During probation he was told this makes him competitive to stay on full-time. Since then, he has been working 80 he weeks including evenings weekends and holidays. He is an analyst at a big bank, not a manager. His manager thinks he is covered because he sends him a list of tasks by email and make a him agree to complete them by a short unrealistic timeframe by email, so he has a paper trail. If he is sick or needs time off to take care of sick kids and his sick pregnant wife, he is threatened to be laid off. Even when he calls in sick or has a vacation day, he works through it at home for fear of being fired. Our life has become hell. If and when he gets laid off, will there be a case for wrongful dismissal and backpay for Overtime?
