Full question:
I was hired in the private sector to monitor and supervise facilities where college students reside. I agreed to the $9.75 hourly rate upon accepting employment with the understanding that there would be adequate staff coverage during my 12 a.m.-9 a.m. shift. One the original staff members resigned shortly after I began employment, which left the burden on me to monitor/supervise the facilities (over 628 students and 3 buildings). Should I be compensated for the change in job responsibility and effort that I now am faced with?

Answer:
Terms of employment are generally at the discretion of the employer, as long as there is no discrimination or illegal activity involved. If the employment terms aren't governed by an employment or union agreement, they are a matter of private negotiation.
