I’ve been facing some confusion with my host company’s HR regarding my expected work hours. They mentioned a max of 40 hours, but I’m being scheduled for 50 this week. Has anyone else dealt with similar issues? I’d love to hear how you managed it, especially if you found ways to address this with your HR team.
I totally get where you’re coming from… I faced something similar with a max of 40 hours but ended up logging 45 last week. It helps to directly bring it up with HR, emphasizing the J-1 guidelines.
Dealing with HR can be tricky, but when I was in a similar situation, I found it helpful to keep a clear log of my hours and bring it to the conversation. It makes it easier for them to see the discrepancy. Have you thought about scheduling a meeting with HR to discuss it directly?
