If on salary can your boss make you work if not work related? -

Well, if you are salaried, your boss can probably fire you any time he wants, right? Usually salaried folks are serving at the discretion of their managers. So don t mow his lawn or whatever, but be prepared to be fired, go to court - and lose - as the boss will have some other excuse for firing you, trust me.

No. However, you can also be fired for failing to do your job as required. The boss is the one who gets to define job requirements, not the employee. It may not seem fair but power is in the hands of those who have amassed it. Your boss is in control. Being on salary has nothing to do with this although an hourly worker usually performs work per hour attributable to a specific duty. A salaried worker usually has a wider range of responsibilities and there s room for indiscretions, of course, but they re not the usual so far as I know.Apparently your boss has made it clear he wants you to baby sit or run to the drug store for a gift for his wife...and you resent it? Or something similar? Go with it or screw the job. If you choose the latter, you will botch your reference and invite poverty. Unless something really nasty is involved, go with it but tell your boss you re not happy doing such-and-such, that it s not in the job description and you would prefer a more cut-and-dry placement. You have the right to express indignation. Your boss has the right to be unfair. You ll have to weigh things carefully.Len

Usually, in your job description there s a sentence that says and other duties as directed Which means anything your boss says it is. So technically speaking, yes. ---Kasey C, PC guru since Apple II daysPeople with no commitments have the strongest causes.
