Do any of you get OT? or are you salary?

Overtime? you kidding. Technically I am on call 24/7, but if I spread my pay out to cover that time period, 😱
 
i'm salary, but i have everyones schedule down pat .. i come in late, prolong my lunch, and leave early .. i milk them for all it's worth.. 😉

but then there are those days where something breaks at work and i spend like 16 hours at work, so it all evens out in the end.
 
Salary. Never had a hourly job but in high school. It's alright some weeks I work 70 some 15, just depends on project deadlines and if my boss is in or not.
 
I'm salary, but do get paid overtime if I'm more than a few hours past 40, and if I'm working on something important/urgent.
 
Hourly, even though I'm supposed to be salary since I'm a manager. And I DEFINATELY get overtime! I average 2-10 hours of overtime each week. 🙂 Makes for some NICE paychecks.
 
i'm salary but get OT and shift premiums as well (eg. working nights, weekends, holidays). the best of both worlds! unionized too.
 
My salary is based on a 40 hour work week, but if I work over 40 hours, I get time and half. For example, assuming i work 8 hours Wed, 8 hours Thurs, and 6.5 hours on Friday...then I have already worked the equivalent of 43 paid hours so far this week. (OT hours = 1.5 reg hours and Sunday hours = double regular hours)

Thing with being salaried is you usually get better benefits than being hourly. Most of the time, you don't get benefits by being hourly.

That's not true at all. As long as you are full time anyways.
 
My standard work schedual has about 9hrs of built in OT every pay period. Since we are a bit short handed and since I was traveling for 2 weeks last month, so far this year I have aveaged about 25 hrs OT per pay period (2 weeks).


Family?? what family?
 
No way I'd go salary. I wouldn't want to work a job where I didn't get overtime, since I wouldn't want to work less than 40 hours a week.

 
Usually I don't pull overtime, but if we have a priority project that needs finishing, I sometimes pull 5-10 hrs overtime a week. Getting paid over $26 an hour is nice 😀
 
I used to have to put up with mandatory OT (which should be illegal). Not only that, but I was part time, got paid less than everybody else for the same work, and was not elegible for benefits. I quit that bullsh!t after a week. Trust me, 15 hour days of backbreaking labor for 10 an hour (first 40 a week, not first 8 a day) is not worth it.

its true that most jobs esp. the lower paying ones don't get benefits if they are hourly but luckily my pay is decent and I get excellent benefits (health, dental, vision) 🙂
 
When I was working, they'd just cut a day, then make you work OT the days you worked.. but we didn't get paid for OT because they did it by the over 40hrs/week thing.. not 8hrs/day.. 🙁:|
