Hi
We have a small group of technicians who, following a resignation, have been doing some additional work in their working hours. They have taken on some basic admin duties (data entry/looking after faculty notice board) and have now decided unless they are to be paid more or they won’t be doing these duties anymore. We didn’t replace the person that left as it was thought there was capacity in the team to take on some additional duties.
We can’t pay them more as the hours are within their working hours and they are on the same grade as an administrator is anyway.
Are we being unreasonable? What steps would you take?
Thanks in advance.
