is it ok for a employer to phone a employee at home about work, when the person has worked nights and is in bed.

It might not be OK, but, you have a choice, DON' T ANSWER THE PHONE!  Get caller ID, if your boss calls, just don't answer it.  Or, you can simply tell that person that phone calls during the day wake you up.  Take a stand!

Report this to your immediate supervisor verbally and in writing. Use words like "profanity", "hostile workplace", "sexual harassment", "neglect", and "elder abuse".\n\nAsk the patient's family to advocate on her behalf regarding a set bedtime and to not have those employees in her wing.\n\nRequest that the guy has his shift and wing changed so that you do not have to work with him.\n\nGood Luck! This seems like a pretty bad situation for everyone involved. I hope everything works out.

IF you are CERTAIN it is infectious then yes, you do have a right to ask her not to come in as you have a legal obligation to protect the health and safety of ALL your staff. However, be very, very careful because your 'self-diagnosis' over the internet is NOT acceptable as "proof". If you have access to an Occupational Health department/ adviser, you should ask them to intervene in this case.

You polite?  Christ, now I've heard it all... anyway the way I deal with them is to say the following: \n\n"I'm busy can I call you back at around 11 tonight"\nThey will usually reply and say I'm not here then, I'm at home\n"oh give me your home number then and I will call you there"\nThey say we can't give out our home numbers\n"oh can I not call you at home then?"\nno\n"what makes you think you can fecking call me at home then you daft feckwit?" \n\nNormally they hang up.

Absolutely there are laws to protect you, but what you have stated is somewhat vague, you should try asking a more specific questions, where did the icident take place home, work? what kind of harassment? sexual, physical,or verbal was it your boss or a coworker.

Call them. On a phone. During business hours.

Yes, but she is already married. \n\nSounds like you have to date the ho's. Atleast the bed won't be cold when you come home from work at night.

As an employee, not a supervisor...I would rather prefer a phone call or a left message.  It seems more personable if you confront the person rather than leaving a non-professional note.  Or wait till they get back.

I suspect that this will vary based on your country and state of residence. I've just been looking at labor laws in California, and unless you are a minor, they CAN require you to work extra as long as they are paying you overtime.\n\nOther thought: IF on your application for employment there was a space specifying what hours you are available, and then they terminate you for not working outside of those hours, then that is breach of contract and probably lawful termination too and you might want to find an attorney.

Employees should be treated with dignity and have the right to keep their personal lives separate from their business lives.\n\nDemanding information about taking sick leave is one of the more sensitive areas.\n\nEmployees should be made aware that use of emails within the company server and phone calls using the company phone system are not private.  They shouldn't find out the hard way.

If you have an anonymous system for employee complaints, then use it to bring this to their attention. This kind of stuff isn't conducive to a healthy workplace, I would think someone in upper management would want to know. However, if you are working in a smaller company, you will have to decide if you feel its safe to speak up or not. \n\nNo, its not normal.

No. It is not right. It has been a long time since I have looked at the laws and they might have varied a little in that time. But I do know it used to be anything over five hours you had to have a half hour. Anything over seven hours you are entitled to another half hour.\n\nI will look up and see if I can find recent laws. \nFight your boss and if they will not change then take it to the BBB or the county.

This is of course all a matter of opinion.  I say as long as both parties are adult about it and keep work out of the bedroom and the bedroom out of the office I say no problem.  Communication is always key and so is being very mature about it all. But I say it's no real problem.  The only problem occurs if one of you screws over the other one and you still have to work together.

Sure there is no time to communicate?? I work overnights, I've been there. In my past relationship, we used to communicate during dinnertime, and the time remaining before I went to work. Also had some time to do so after I came home, and before she went to work. It is trying, but it is possible. Also, take advantage of his night's off. If you can get him to "reverse" his schedule on his night's off, that'll help out too. Good luck!!

It is if my husband is your supervisor. He fired to employees for that this week. One just left to see girlfriend & one fell asleep in his truck for 4 hours. Both need a job, being responsible makes a good employee.

I won't mind be passed over for work, thats life... But they should at least have the decency to call instead of making you wait, and worry, depending on close the person is to you.\n\nSo its definitely not ok, especially if its someone who is important to you or you'd like to be! Just ask them how would they feel...
