PET OF THE WEEK Animal ID: 7533 Hi my name is Brooklyn! I'm a sweet and affectionate lady looking for a patient and loving home to live out my golden years. I love to be with people and think being pet and going on walks is the best! I am one of the shelters longest canine residents having been here since October 5th. I hope I find my forever home soon! Before going up for adoption, I had entropion surgery to correct rolling in of my eyelids in my right eye - now I can see all of my favourite people even better! I am a bit choosy with my canine and feline companions so if I can be the only pampered pet that would be best, but if you do have a resident animal please bring them to meet me to ensure that we are a match. I am also still learning some leash manners so please be patient and use positive reinforcement to teach me what is acceptable. I am very smart and am reported to be house trained and know how to sit, shake-a-paw, lay-down and usually come when called. I have also have lived with younger children and done well with them. I hope to find my new family and forever home soon! Age: 10 Years 7 Months

Lucky
Reference Number: 33255427
Hello! My name is Lucky! I’m looking for experienced owners who are prepared to help me with my doggy skills. Loud noises and commotion scare me a little, so I will do best in a calm and quiet home with older children. I have a penchant for chasing wee creatures, so I will do best in a home with no cats or other small animals. I enjoy the company of my foster dog so I may get along with your dog as long as they understand that I am little shy, perhaps your resident rover can help me build some confidence. The care free attitude that comes with off-leash parks aren’t really my thing, so a great big backyard would be the best! Like people, I don’t get along with every doggie out there, so you and I get to attend “Reactive Rover” together to work on this. I am so excited to start our life together! I am currently hanging out with my foster parent, so please contact my friends in Adoptions to meet me at 403-205-4455, Ext. 6503! Ruv, Lucky

MY JOB FINDER ALBERTA JOB OPPORTUNITIES 7
Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I work for a company that operates round-the-clock five days a week. My employer forces us to work 12-hour shifts whenever someone is on holidays. Are employers allowed to make overtime mandatory? Signed Overwhelmed by Overtime Dear Overwhelmed: Alberta’s Employment Standards Code does not give employees the right to refuse overtime—few provinces do—but employers have some obligations to ensure they are abiding by Human Rights legislation and Occupational Health and Safety requirements. For example if an employee is unable to work overtime due to child-care issues, the employer must take that into consideration.

Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
At times, overtime is required to meet operational needs but there are limits to how much overtime your employer can ask you to work and how much notice your employer must give you. Most Albertans can not be asked to work more than 12 hours in a single day, unless an unforeseeable emergency occurs. The 12-hour limit generally applies to all employees in Alberta except for occupations like managers, professionals, licensed salespersons, land agents, residential and homecare caregivers, and domestic employees. Most employees most are entitled to overtime pay for all hours worked in excess of eight hours a day or 44 hours a week: whichever is greater. Employees and employers may agree to bank overtime hours in an overtime agreement. Otherwise, overtime hours must be paid at the rate of at least one and half times the employee’s regular wage rate. Employees are entitled to a minimum 30 minutes of rest—paid or unpaid at the employer’s discretion—during a shift that lasts more than five consecutive hours. These are the minimum standards and many employers voluntarily provide staff with additional breaks or notice when overtime is expected. The only other issue related to your overtime concern is fatigue and worker safety. Workplace fatigue is addressed by the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Code. Employers are required to conduct workplace hazard assessments, a responsibility that includes monitoring worker fatigue. In cases where a worker’s fatigue has become a worksite hazard, the employer must put controls in place to protect the worker such as allowing the fatigued worker to rest and take more time off between overtime shifts. Are you unsatisfied with the current overtime arrangement in your workplace? Try discussing your concerns with your supervisor/manager. Brainstorm some solutions to the problem beforehand. You are much more likely to be successful if you can bring solutions that satisfy your needs and your employer’s needs—instead of just concerns. For more information on workplace fatigue, visit work.alberta.ca/ohs and check out the fact sheet called Fatigue and Safety at the Workplace or call Occupational Health and Safety toll-free at 1-866-415-8690. For more information on overtime, hours of work, overtime agreements and occupations exempted from Alberta’s Employment Standards, visit work.alberta.ca/es. You can also call and speak to an Employment Standards staff person toll-free at: 1-877-427-3731. Good luck!
