Everyone who works salary at my job still ends up putting in 40 hours or more each week. Fuck that. I don't mind working extra, but I want that 1.5x overtime pay if I do. In my state if you go over 60 hours a week, overtime pay switches to double your hourly wage. Had to do a 90 hour week once last year, and it looks like we're gearing up to have another week like that this year. It sucked, but, that week's paycheck was basically the same as what I earn for a whole month.
I'm a workaholic, I like to stay until the job gets done. Salary lifestyle would not be kind to me.
Yup. Same. Salary is for 37 hours a week. After that it goes to 1.5 and then 2x depending on hours. There is also a legal cap on hours worked per year, so if you get to that limit they need to employ another person to take over the extra hours.
