Overtime Slackers
In the past, say, 2 months, this is what I know about interns doing overtime:AIBC Bylaw 33.1 states that "In practicing architecture, an architect shall not knowingly violate any law or legislation."
Intern architects work overtime and do not get compensated for it according to the bc employment standards act (ESA). 17.4% of interns receive time and a half for overtime. Interns work an average of 12 hours overtime per week. I received an e-mail that said that an intern worked 67 hours of overtime in a month recently, including a 24 hour shift, along with 2 others.
One intern I know is filing it the way AIBC Practice Note #11 recommends (i.e., through the employment standards office). Two interns, each of different firms, have each individually written to their employers, and include Practice Note #11 and the ESA regarding overtime.
It's illegal. It's inefficient for the office to have sluggish interns. It's bad for the individual interns who are afraid to sacrifice job security in the small architectural community. Who don't see their friends and family, who don't have time to eat and sleep - let alone do exams. And who are at a higher risk of a heart attack due to excess work and exhaustion!
It's bad for architecture.
