Well, the employees get to sleep on hte job for five hours, and for five hours they are working.So, it's not fair that they are forced to be there for five hours, and not get paid for it. But, it's also not fair that they get to sleep for five hours, and get paid the full amount for the time they were sleeping. So, either: a) They find some sort of compromise - such as they are paid 1/3 of their salary while sleeping, and extra if they have to do anything. Or b) They get paid the full amount, but are assigned duties through the night, and aren't permitted to sleep. [ 11 September 2006: Message edited by: Pearson ]

Great. Easy solution then.Make them work ten hours. You don't get to sleep on the job anymore. Everyone's happy.

Works for me. At least then it's a real night shift and they're explicitly on the clock. None of this "we're not paying you but you can't leave" crap.

Pearson is correct. They should get paid the same wage while sleeping on the job as other Canadians. Such as Senators.
HA!
