Hello,
I am an electrician working for a company that installs, maintains and repairs auto doors. My employer made me sign an agreement to be the QTP of his business. He said that every electrician who works here has to sign it. No one else has. He lied. Also he says I have to work overtime whenever asked. We have an after hours service. He uses an award that apparently is non existant any more according to fair work. I and my partner have suffered mentally and physically because of forced overtime. We have 4 young kids under 6. When I bring it up he says I have an attitude problem.
Do I have legal grounds to sue?
