YAJobT: Did I get screwed?

[pontifex]

I'm a salaried employee. If changed to an hourly rate, it comes out to about $15.85/hr before taxes. I worked on Sunday for a little over 8 hours, so this will give me a 48 hour week.

One of the upper management guys says to me today that they will be giving everyone that worked that day, $100 for the day. thats $12.50 an hour before taxes.

They didn't ask whether I wanted to be paid or get comp. time for it. Sounds like I got screwed.

You're salaried, you're lucky you got any compensation what-so-ever.

 

[MrChad]

I think you're looking at this the wrong way. As a salaried employee, you could have received jack squat for your extra 8 hours. Instead, you got a $100. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

 

[GeneValgene]

well you are salaried...they didn't even have to compensate you for that extra 8 hours. be lucky they are giving you anything

-edit-
hahaha wow...am i slow or what

 

[Jeeebus]

You're a salaried at-will employee. You're lucky you're getting anything for having to work on Sunday.

EDIT: Apparently, great minds think alike.

 

[pontifex]

true. didn't think of it that way. been an hourly employee for so long guess i haven't gotten used to it yet.

 

[Sureshot324]

That's why salaried is another way to say ram you in the ass

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

Yup...all too often the only screwing that happens is when people go salaried. That's when you boss realizes, "Hey, unlimited work for fixed price!"

Salarised and OT for shift hrs, Bank Holidays and weekend work if they require it
