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:
Employment terms are typically set by the employer, provided there is no discrimination or illegal activity. If your employment is not governed by a contract or union agreement, the terms are usually a matter of private negotiation. Therefore, changes in job responsibilities may not automatically entitle you to additional compensation unless otherwise specified in your employment agreement.
