Hourly vs Salary
Us hourly peeps have our advantages when it comes to getting paid. For one, we are still eligible for overtime. For two, we are not always on the clock. On the flip side of things, salary people don't have to worry about their hours. Keeping a hawk eye on how close we are on overtime or rather getting our full 80 hours is annoying. To know that you have a set 80 hrs as a salaried employee is nice and to know that when your work is done you are done. Although the overtime is nice, I'd rather get a couple dollar raise in pay and just get put on salary to where I don't have to worry about the whole "Am I going over or am I getting shorted on hours" thing. Oh and February couldn't get here fast enough for me, I would love for my vaca to be refilled. To be getting 120 hours of vacation sounds nice right about now.

I always hated the strictness of overtime at that establishment. I wonder how much sooner I'd have been let go had I told a guest, "Sorry, can't help, overtime is not allowed, see ya!"
ReplyDeleteThen again, I DID have my employment terminated because there was not enough time in an 8-hour shift to complete all the assignments of the day.
I know right, either short handed or not enough time in the day to get shit taken care of.
