A complete answer to your question cannot be provided without having detailed information regarding your job duties and responsibilities. However, the portion of your question regarding being required to take vacation leave or unpaid leave for absences of a day or more is generally permissible unless you have a contract or union agreement that prohibits it. In order to determine whether whether you are entitled to be paid for the additional 10 hours a week you work, you would have to provide a detailed description of your job duties and responsibilities.
