Can Your Employer Force You To Clear the Rubbish Bin and Vacuum the Office?
Advertisements
If you are working a regular office role, can your employer force you to clear out the trash at the end of the day? By trash, i mean everybody’s trash from the office trash bins.
Can they force you to vacuum the office? I did not sign up to throw trash and why do i need to do these things because the company is too cheap to engage a regular cleaning service?

- Lady boss forces us to clear rubbish bin, sweep, and mop. Water dispenser also ownself change bottle.
- Well they definitely can. You can also resign if you don’t agree these “ad-hoc” duties.
- do la than slowly do
free lepak time why dont want?
for trash you start earlier so it dont waste your own after office time - Unless your boss is holding a gun to your head, refuse firmly but politely. If he insists, probably time to start looking for a new job, because you don’t know what extra duties he will add to your plate next.
- “Other duties as assigned”. If you are the only one being arrowed to do it just look for a new job.
- Depends on how close or good my relationship is with my colleagues. If good, I’ll just do it. If not so good, I’ll just clear my own, & sweep my own area. If boss or others ask, I’ll just reply “I cleared mine. You can clear your own. Why? U got no hands no legs is it? You pang sai want me to wipe for you not?”
- If it’s in the contract yes? Hahah but in all seriousness, usually they have cleaners so I assume it’s an SME?
- Clear the bin if you guys take turns and provided you guys are the ones who use the bins or some how your customers use the bins.
