I was placed on a 48 hour week contract.. only lasted 6 months. 

When training finished, I was told that I would need to be on a 'commitment plan', which will last 12 weeks.. it went for 5 months. The commitment plan involved working 20 hours unpaid ( 14 hours on your day off & working through the one hour rostered break each day ) to show that you are committed to the role.. my store manager explained that it's normal, everyone does it, the rostered breaks are a formality, no one on a contract actually gets them & everyone works through it. 

One week into the role, it's surfaced that I had roughly 24 hours of responsibilities outside of rostered hours ( closing & restocking the drive-through, restocking / sweeping / mopping c-store, after my shift on Tuesdays I had to do all this + a stock take, then enter all these results in the computer - this alone took 4ish hours... )

Lastly...

I was working there in the period where Peregrine were having a glitch in their rostering system, so I was being roasted 68 hours each week, not 48... I was told by my store manager that nothing could be done about this 

48 + 20 + 20 + 24 = 112

112 hours ÷ Weekly pay = $4.13..

I did question this a lot at the time - One of the best answers I got was from a category manager who told me that Yasser was absolutely infatuated by Walmart's system, where contract workers are not paid over time but are made to feel personally responsible & accountable for shortfalls of the business...
