Yes, I did and I reminded them of this.  They refused to pay the extra...but I weighed the pros and cons.  I will get ongoing maintenance from them so making them happy was my first choice.  And they now know that THEY need to move the furniture and THEY need to properly organize or communicate their schedule with me.  :)

Georgia,

 

If you recall the sample contract I gave you in training had a clause that states that your schedule would be a  minimum 8 hour shift. If you cannot work the 8 hour shift then you need to let the company your working for that every hour under the 8 hour shift will be back charged to them. This usually gets there attention and they make it so you  can work the 8 hour shift.

When working at a commercial location that serves food, it is against health codes to operate any machinery, even a vacuum cleaner while patrons are dining.  Also, most cleaning chemicals are not allowed while patrons are dining. I know each jurisdiction will have its different guidelines.  But it is probably best to make it a general rule not to work on a site that may have patrons dining.  With that in mind...places such as Las Vegas that usually have patrons 24/7, have much different guidelines.

I bring this up because we recently worked on a restaurant who assured us they were closed all day until 5:30pm when they open and close at 2:30am.  But they forgot to mention that they had a lunch group scheduled while we were scheduled to work on their floors.  This happened three days in a row and we had to pack up and leave each time and had to re-arrange our schedules. 

Do you think a little clause on our contract should have included that we are unable to work if patrons are dining? We have a clause that states that they are responsible for the daily rate if we are unable to work that day. 

Thanks all!
Georgia
