Salaried Employees and Comp-Time

[Casawi]

Comp-time all the way. I don't really keep track of how much extra I worked, but I never worry about taking 3-4 days weekend... I take quiet a few of those, mean I work a lot all the time...lol

You guys are lucky, the reason I asked this question was to see if all boss's suck like mine.

Yes. Salaried workers or "exempt" workers are often misclassified as such by their employers in order to skirt overtime pay requirements. Not only should many salaried workers be receiving comp time, they should be getting overtime pay for their efforts. Workers confuse professionalism in the conduct of their jobs with "professional" classification wrt exempt vs non-exempt status wrt to overtime regulations and so allow pride in their work to screw themselves out of overtime pay by not seeking non-exempt status when it is warranted and would be beneficial to the worker.

Salaried employee /= exempt employee, nor is "professional" the only classification for exempt status.

Of course they should. I get 2 for 1 working weekends. If I work either Saturday or Sunday I get 2 free paid days off in return. I'd like to work more weekends, in the past 3 years I've only had projects that required 4 weekend days in total.

In my case it's closer to 1 for 2. If I have to work a whole Saturday I'll take an afternoon off at some point to make up for it.

But I also have the flexibility to take an hour or two for doctor visits/anything and still get paid for a full 40. It doesn't really work out even but it's ok - I've got a job that pays pretty well so I'm not gonna bitch about it.
