    We have been discussing getting another job. You're right, it is a gut feeling. He's being given more and more work that no way can be completed in 16 hours, he ends up staying on just to try and get more done without being paid.

    He needs to stop doing anything over his contracted hours if they aren't paying him for them. There's a big difference between being a dedicated worker and being taken for a mug. From what you say he is definitely falling into the second category now.
    If he is on minimum wage, they are probably breaking employment law if they expect him to complete additional hours without payment.

    He has to stay on to complete the extra work, with no pay. That's not in his contract.
    In fact only the 1 site is in his contract, but he's made to look after 3 in total.
    Would this put him under NMW / (or more likely) NLW?
  • I have just over 42 years work experience with 5 different employers and sadly I have learned and seen that when a situation arises that the employer wants but may impact negatively on the employee its tough titty.
    And it matters not one jot how many extra miles the employee may have gone .
    Sad but True
