Before legal issues come into play, you need to figure out what is the cost of the change for you, then your manager needs to be told what your cost is so they can compare it to their benefits, then the manager needs to consider how attractive changing jobs becomes for you with this change, and only then does it get legal. | |

| Oct 28, 2018 at 3:00 | comment | added | nasch | The hourly thing could fall apart if it's really important to this manager and he says "fine, you can leave 10 minutes early to make up for it." OP should be prepared to have this argument pulled out from under him if he makes it. | |
| Oct 27, 2018 at 19:56 | comment | added | user64742 | @rs.29 indeed it sounds like in the question that the OP is expected to work them and normal hours without compensation. | |
| Oct 27, 2018 at 19:55 | comment | added | user64742 | @CPHPython not to mention that the OP says outside of normal hours implying that they are suddenly being expected to stay for their normal hours in addition to the meetings. | |
| Oct 27, 2018 at 10:08 | comment | added | rs.29 | @stoj My impression is that manager pushes OP to join meetings from home, i.e. in his free time, therefore avoiding to pay overtime. OP didn't clarify is he hourly or salaried employee, this could make huge difference. My impression is that OP's manager want to squeeze more time from OP without compensating. OP doesn't want more money, but asking for more money could bring him more time. | |

| Oct 26, 2018 at 10:08 | comment | added | CPHPython | Yes, I agree: this is a legal issue. What if other "project manager" decides to have another meeting at the end of the day (after working hours)? Since it is only a manager (and not his boss), I'd add that talking to his boss may help further resolving compensation issues before considering moving out. | |
