Work has been super busy lately with an impending deadline at end of May.
The whole office has been bumped up to 50 hours. But since I'm salary there's no overtime (don't worry my boss is great about compensation so I'm sure some way it'll be worth it ;) )
So I wonder.
How many of us are salary and how many are hourly?
How does your company deal with overtime?
I'm salaried and do not receive overtime. It really stinks, because from November - February I usually work 60-70 hour weeks.
I don't know if this is something you care about, but my overtime is time and a half and my federal holidays are double time
I start my job in August and will be salary. No paid overtime, but it's the type of job that it would be very rare for me to have to work more than 40 hours a week.
Salaried, no extra pay for OT...makes me want to take long lunches.
I am hourly for the first time in over 10 years - but it has to do with the labor laws in this state.
Our office travels to conventions/trade shows/bridal shows and I get overtime on those weeks when I work over 40 hours...but unless we've got events or something happening, we stick to 40.
It took me the first month to get used to punching in -SO bizarro.
But... we don't get holidays at all :( Thankfully my direct boss and our office is pretty casual so we work around stuff as needed.
I am technically hourly, and get paid time and a half for OT. We don't really punch in though. I just fill out a time sheet every week using a template (unless I take sick time or vacation or whatever). I make a set amount each year (not including OT), though, which is more like salary.
Salary...OT is only paid if its something directly for a client and that we can bill them for.
Hourly, but I can get overtime. Time and a half for overtime and holidays.
I am salary and I think it's like that on purpose so my company doesn't have to pay me overtime. I work way more than 8 hour days and when I'm busy I will work up to 12 hour days, but never see a dime extra. I also take clients out after work every once in a while for dinner or happy hour or a sporting event and technically should be paid overtime for that, but never am. I also work on weekends sometimes, also don't see a dime for that either.
Hourly. But I never have an opportunity to work overtime- sometimes I wouldn't mind.
Salary - no OT so I force myself to leave my desk at 5pm each day. Not always easy... We do get an extra 10 bucks a day for the days we are oncall which comes out to about 5 weeks a year.
My last job was Salary also with no paid OT - however, when OT was required, comp days were given. I got alot of comp days!
My primary job is salary, but I still teach dance at a studio for an hourly wage.
Salary plus commission for my current job with no overtime pay (they figure if I work overtime, the commission will compensate me enough). I plan on quitting in about three weeks though and I'm so excited!!!
And then I'll have an hourly position making about 10% what I currently make...but I'll be much happier, and I'm going back to school full time to take prerequisites for a doctorate in physical therapy.
Salary. Not paid for overtime, but we can collect lieu time and take other days off. Which is great for me because we travel so much. I get 3 weeks paid vacation, plus 5 personal days, 1 wellness day, 1 day off that our boss gives us for Christmas and any lieu time I accumulate.
I also have a part time job as a community support worker for a teenager with Autism which is hourly.
Salary and it sucked at first. I went from hourly to salary and saw a very small bump in pay. I did the math and it came out that if I was still being paid hourly I'd actually be making more because of the hours I was working. After 6 months of working harder and longer I FINALLY got a raise so its been better.
I'm hourly, but mostly because my upcoming year is super hectic that my boss doesn't want to change it to salary while I'll be needing a few weeks off here and there.
We'll see...I suppose there are perks to both.
I get paid per diem, or per day, actually... it's odd.
I am technically a long term substitute for a school, and they pay me per day. It's a nice mix between hourly and salary.
I am on a salary, I get paid extra when I go away for work about $40/day and we can acrew time in liew when we put in heaps of extra hours. But generally I prob work an extra 5-8 hours per week for nada.
I'm hourly now with a set amount of overtime hours, so my pay check is the same every week.
I was salary at my last job and it was horrible. I was working 50-60 hours a week minimum and when I did the math, I was making waay less than when I had been doing the same job working hourly.

Salary. Its all very fluid at my work. I don't have set hours. When we're busy I work as much as needed, even if that means very very late at night or over weekends. When we're not so busy I'm free to take afternoons off or sometimes just random days after a particularly hard period. I also don't really have any set time off. I don't have like... x number of personal days or sick days. I work from home so I've got to be pretty sick to keep me from working entirely, and in terms of vacation its just kind of on a "reasonable" basis. I ask for what I want and I've never been told no. Its nice because it is so flexible... but sometimes it sucks to never be able to call in sick and take a "mental health day" or take a random friday off for no good reason at all (because generally if i want a day off i tell my boss why)
I'm salaried and after all my jobs being hourly, I love being salaried. It's kind of in my work-nature to just keep working until I am done with a project, so not having to worry about overtime works for me.
Plus, I am very fortunate that my boss is keenly aware when my teammembers and I put in extra hours, so she is really understanding and generous if we need to take off early, take a little extra longer lunch or come in a bit late.
Salary, no paid overtime. But when I waitress ocassionally, I obviously get paid hourly + tips. Oh tips, how I miss thee...
I said "other". I'm in grad school and work two part-time jobs. At one, there's a set number of hours you're supposed to work per week, but it's more like salary in that the stipend is just paid and it's up to you and your supervisor to figure out your hours. The other job is straight up hourly, time clock and all. Ah, student jobs!
Salary, no overtime. But I make my own hours around events and workload so I might have a few 16 hours days, but I rarely work more than 40 hrs a week.
@helenberrycrunch: <----everything she said. Except we have timeclocks, and we are on a rotational call schedule for weekends. Which we also get paid for.
@CorgiTales: I'm in exactly the same situation. Salary with no over time. But I can take as much time off as needed provided that I meet my billable hours every month. It has it's pluses and minuses.
Other: I work as a Realtor's assistant and technically my pay should be X amount per week but because my mom's own pay is commission based and very sporadic so is mine in return. She probably could pay me on a more regular basis but for now it's ok because I know that the first 4 months of the year are REALLY slow. When I eventually get my license I will also be getting paid a commission which means lots of future planning to be prepared for the dry months.
I'm self-employed and clients pay me an hourly fee for the time I spend with them...but then I spend MORE time communicating and answering questions via phone and email, scheduling, and billing, all of which is not (directly) paid. All said and done, my actual hourly received rate is close to half the billed rate.
I'm currently a substitute teacher (while looking for a full time gig) and I voted other because I get paid per day (or halfday). There's no overtime and I get paid bi-weekly.
My summer job is salaried with no overtime. The joys of the teaching.
