Hahaha, if this is an hourly worker and he isnt paying overtime this is a completely valid response :) lol
@freemo @georgetakei Nah, it's valid no matter what kind of worker they are. The idea that we should be emotionally loyal to employers is patently absurd.
Salaried employees are expected to make a fix amount no matter how much they are paid. That is the bargain.
@freemo @georgetakei That doesn't mean that they're obligated to have some sort of greater commitment to their job outside of their assigned duties.
Company loyalty is for suckers.
No one said anything about "greater commitment". Only that a salaried worker's job isnt a 9-5 job. They are expected to work longer hours when needed, sometimes do work after hours, and in exchange they get paid when they take off like vacations.
@freemo @scott_guertin @georgetakei No, they are not. That's why we have something called "overtime pay". Because work in excess of agreed hours is something that is compensated separately.
First time I ever heard of any salaried employee getting overtime. How does that work considering a salaried employee doesnt have an hourly wage defined?
@freemo @black6 @scott_guertin @georgetakei At my company you calculate your hourly wage from salary divided by 30*8 then multiply it by 1.5 to get the overtime pay rate. Many companies expect people to work for free, like you've said, but they're not good companies.
@freemo @black6 @scott_guertin @georgetakei 23*8, not 30*8.
@freemo @black6 @scott_guertin @georgetakei To be honest I've never heard of overtime pay for hourly employees. How does that work? Where does the overtime start? It's just more hours.
By law, an by default, overtime is any time worked beyond 40 hours in a week. Overtime by law must be paid at 1.5x the base rate by default in most states.
There are of course exceptions on a per-contract or per-state basis. But thats the standard.
@pies
Sakary employees do **not** get overtime pay, by definition a salary employee doesnt even have an hourly rate they have a yearly rate. Overtime is only an idea that applies to hourly employees.
