hi. working for td bank canada. it is regular occurrence that everyone is working beyond office hours on daily basis. Sometimes have to work till 12-1am in the night. No OT and unrealistic expectations and in turn leading to bad reviews. in case company decides to lay off, can i use phone pictures of emails sent at midnight. my aim is to leverage the proof to have much higher severance (violation of 37.5 hours as per offer letter,unjust work). how can i make myself safe to unjust treatment.

No overtime but you're still working? Sounds like wage theft, talk to a lawyer not a forum.

You need to respect yourself and others will respect you. That needs to start from day one on the job. You set strict boundaries and walk out the door promptly at 5 PM.

Unless you make a LOT of money. That’s a toxic culture that everyone participates in to not be left behind. I’d leave for sure.

I dont know Canadian labor law. But is your role an overtime-eligible position? Research overtime rules in your province on state government websites.

Do you want to clock in and clock out? That may be the end result.

Keep a personal record of your time worked, exactly, off firm systems. You may need it for back overtime claims, if you raise them.

Author, if you live in Canada, have documentation that says what you agreed to work, and are being told to work overtime, the company is LEGALLY required to pay you for that time. PERIOD.

Document all evidence of being directly or indirectly told to work overtime, including your clock-in / clock-out hours, and consult Samfiru Tumarkin or another trusted legal representative.

Who told you to work till 1am?
You stayed in the office till 1am?
37.5 is not the max you are allowed to work.

I think it would be helpful to get something in writing where your manager has somehow asked you to stay past your normal working hours. Without that, you don't have any proof.
When I worked at another Canadian bank I would just leave at the end of my shift. If my manager required me to stay longer they would send me an email at least an hour or two in advance asking me to stay back. In that case I would email them back to ensure overtime was being offered before agreeing to stay back. Additionally, I was also able to connect with hr about deeming anything over 37.5 being considered overtime as that was the normal hours per week. My manager had told me that anything over 44 hours would be overtime and that is accurate per esa (employment standards act), however I was thankful HR was more reasonable.
You should be getting paid overtime for every minute you stay behind so please try to get something in writing regarding this.
