    Default Can a club force you to stay?

    In our contracts at the club where I work they require you to work a minimum of 2 shifts a week at six hours a shift minimum. I usually go in at LEAST 3-4 days a week. I go in around 6 or 7 pm and leave @ midnight-1am, as I have a child to care for and I need to get a decent night's sleep.

    The past several shifts I have had problems with a power tripping manager. Any time I try and leave after my 6 hours are up, he tries to get me to stay by saying that I must check out with him first before leaving, reason being that if all the night girls leave @ 12 or 1am, then there will be no girls left at closing (which is @ 1:45 am). Basically he is saying that if I don't check out before I leave, my contract could be terminated, b/c there might be a possibility that he'd need me to stay until closing and if I don't stay, then they are screwed.

    I told him that I cannot always stay until closing. If my kid stays at his dad's house I can, but...I have a kid to care for and I'm not staying out til 2-2:30 am only to wake up to be cranky zombie Mom the next day. He seemed to understand, but I was irked by the fact that he's trying to make me stay past a time that is inconvenient for me.

    My job revolves around my life, not the other way around. Don't we like this job for the convenience factor? Can they force me to stay by threatening to tear up my contract, which I abide to otherwise?

    I think strip club managers can do whatever you let them get away with. So if you need to leave, then do it. If he's agreed that you can leave at a certain time and he bitches at you, then remind him that he said you could leave and then walk out the door. If he fires you or terminates the contract then you can technically sue the club because you are abiding by their shift minimum and gave him fair warning about your special circumstances. But I wouldn't expect to get anywhere with it.
    If your manager fires you it's mostly going to be a power trip thing, and it's probably possible to get your job back by talking to a different manager on a different day who doesn't have it out for you. Or even the same manager on a different day. So many of them are ruled by bad tempers and coke binges.
    That's usually the way things work in Stripperland, but your club may be different.

    ^^ We finally agreed that when I come in for a night shift, I let them know at the beginning of the shift when I will be leaving. This way he won't "let" too many girls leave early. But still...

    There are other managers at the club I get along with very well. They like me b/c I dont drink smoke or do drugs, I'm a sane, good worker and I cause very little drama.

    Some of these power tripping managers make me laugh tho. They are such little fish in a big sea...

    Well I think that's fair. If you can do your part by reminding him then he should let you leave.

    Well, you are fulfilling the terms in your contract, so no, I don't believe they can force you to stay. If he is afraid of all the girls leaving at the same time he needs to keep better track on who comes in at what time.

    Yeah and the funny part about all this is that this happens on days when I am not even on schedule. He should be glad that my ass showed up in the first place! LOL!

    Sounds like your club is in need of more quality dancers like you. I am sure they realize that you are good for their club. The jerk manager is just trying to take advantage of your reliability.

    ^^^ Yup and I think he realized if he really pisses you off youll go elsewhere. His bullying didnt work. Good for you. Stick up for yourself!

    my old club tried to pull this. all the night girls had to stay till 2.

    I decided one night that if I really wanted to go home early, I'd tell them I need to go home, not ask if I could. They always let me, even tho they said no to other girls. And I never got fired for it.

    ^^ That's pretty much what I am going to do at this point.

    Oh and yesterday when we were signing updated contracts for 2008 I noticed that they raised the housefees from $40 to $80 (!) after 9 pm and if the (late) night girls want to keep paying $40 to work then they will have to be in by 6pm.

    Yeah. That's really going to make the girls want to stay til close. Duh!!!!!
