    Good evening all.

    Just want to get some other peoples ideas on a situation in work.

    Managers and Supervisors (in a hotel) are on a contract stating hours as required. Fair enough. Also states 39 hour week.

    A couple of the managers/supervisors have put in 3 long days, clocking up 33 hours in 3 days, and so put themselves in for 6 hours as holidays to make up the 39.

    HR refused this, and demanded that they put in for 2 days holidays, which would be 16 hours work, have the "extra" ten hours down as hours as required.

    Am I right in saying this is wrong?

    If they worked 33 hours and HR are adding 16 hours as AL, they should get paid for 49 hours.

    Chalk it up to experience.
    In future they should work a strict 8 hour shift and only do overtime if agreed in advance.

    I'm not sure that's reasonable for folks in 1) management, or 2) hospitality - and these people are both, and their contract specifically says hours-as-required. In most places this means you're salaried and don't receive any extra money for doing extra hours as required.

    OP, it comes down to the company's policies, which managers worthy of the title should be well aware of.

    But if they weren't there on two days, then I'd say that is two days of annual leave taken.
