    Hi. Just started a new job last week. Anyway, was meant to finish my shift at 6 today but was asked by a colleague to cover his shift from 7.30 onto 11. Anyway, he told me not to mention this is our supervisor as he says he'd get in trouble. However, I would need to mention it to make sure I get paid as I haven't been clocking in and out yet (system broken, arrived early and stayed late everyday though) and have been told to record the hours I work. I wouldn't mind but I wasn't even trained for this evening shift and ended up working till around half 11. The guy who asked me to cover has been working there three years and has a dodgy disciplinary record...according to himself....so should I just tell my supervisor outright that I worked the hours for yer man? Thanks.

    You should always tell if you're doing a shift swap, it wreck havoc if not since the manager has no clue who's been in when (and then there are the scheduling laws about rest etc. coming in to play as well).

    Ya I was basically on my feet non-stop for 11 hours and wrecked afterwards so feel like I deserve to get that pay.

    He might have gotten paid for it so demand payment or you will talk to management. Dont let him away with it

    You worked those hours - therefore you should get paid for those hours. Let your manager know.

    If he has a dogey disaplinary record hes probably done it before...and will probably do it again. Tell your manager Its the right thing to do.

    How do you expect to get paid for the shift if management aren't aware you did it?

    I would have no qualms about letting them know you did it but be careful there probably is a procedure to swap shifts that has to be cleared by management and you and your colleague have obviously not followed this.
