Labor Law???

Nevada HR

I had a part-time employee offer to stay a couple of extra hours today to cover the front counter because the employee who normally does it called off sick. I accepted her gracious offer.

Shortly thereafter a full-time employee came to me and said she had seniority and labor law said she had to be asked first and she wanted the opportunity to acquire some comp time.

I've never heard of any such requirement. Am I missing something?

I'm with you, never heard of that law. Ask you employee to give you her source and you will be more than happy to check on it.

Great idea! Thanks!

Sounds to me like she is referring to some sort of clause in a union contract.

Since you mentioned comp time - is this a state or federal agency? Otherwise, comp time is illegal.

We're a township form of government.

This employee isn't covered under a CBA and I double-checked to make sure our personnel policy doesn't state that requirement. She's reaching.

Ah...this is what a friend if mine refers to as "grocery store law". They heard it in line at the grocery store so it must be true!
