Regarding hours worked in a labor contract, which can "typically" mean? If the employment contract says '40 hours per week, usually 9-5 "Does this mean that your employer can make you work those hours, even if you have a verbal agreement to work, for example, from 8.30 to 4 30.
Is everything he says? Is it not give working days or a band-widths of hours? Do you have flexible working hours?
From what you said, yes, it would be easy enough for your employer to change your hours, because you only have a verbal agreement to work from 8.30 to 4.30.
If you could get something in writing / e-mail, then it would be useful. Send an e-mail to your boss to ask for clarification that your working hours are from 8.30 to 4.30. Keep a copy of any positive response.
No, it just means that the standard of sound - the number of hours that are usually performed by most people. If you have decided otherwise, I do not worry!
Generally 9 -5 means that most people will be working 9-5 or something very similar. Your verbal agreement will be held, but be flexible. If they need you to work 9-5 for a few days for a special project or something, do it. Most employers want to 8 hours, but will not pay for lunch, then a typical day is 8-5!
Yes, this means that the employer can make you work all hours. Typical normal means, but does not this mean that the inclination to change employer.
You can work 9-5 (or similar hours), but there will be occasions where you have to come in extra early or stay extra late to.
One of my previous jobs was supposed to be 9 to 5 Monday - Friday, but in fact I worked from 7.30 to 6.30 Monday to Friday and Saturday and occasional.
It depends on what is stated in a contract. However, if you have been carrying out the oral agreement for a certain time. Legally, the employer will not be able to change our hours that you have done for so long.
