Which?


Waged here, which kind of sucks (I'm employed through a staffing agency, mainly because the IT department here mainly only hires contractors), but after being so long without no income at all until last year, I'm not going to complain about it much.

Unless you have some cushy government job salaried positions aren't always what they're cracked up to be

Salary.
Boss has no clue what I do.
She's basically there to hear I'm going home early and coming up two hours early the next day to balance it out.
Most of the time I either talk to people or play games. Or both

While there are a lot of downsides to salaries I feel overall it's a much more balanced life. Pretty stressful worrying if you're going to make enough next month to cover basic needs.

coded officially as salaried but i need to log 40 hours a week either through work, sick leave, vacation, or time off with pay (i.e. a 2 hour doctors appointment). i get over time (time + $6.50) once I put in more than 45 hours a week and need approval to work overtime.

The pay period for my job is weird. So the hours depend on how many days are during the pay period. So I have to log from 72 to 96 hours a pay period. It's still 8hrs/day.

Waged. I'm a tech on the telemetry floor in my city's hospital. I'm hoping to go back to school to become a nurse or something, but I'll be waged then as well.

I get paid bimonthly. First pay period is from the 1st of the month til the 15th. Second pay period is from the 16th to the end of the month.

He must have pay periods from 1st to 15th then 16th till end of month. Depending on how it falls, like 10/16-10/31, there are 96 billable hours. 8x12

my pay periods are like that, too, but I just worry about my weekly numbers with regards to flex time etc

my days are only 7.5 hours, which is nice. I keep meaning to start getting here at 7:30 so I can get off super early but I usually get here closer to 9 lol

Gotcha. I forgot places do that, it's been nearly 20 years since I worked somewhere that paid based on the calendar date instead of every 2 weeks with a specific day.

Salaried, but as I work on call I also submit the extra hours for the weeks I'm on call and get paid back by the company.

It wasn't until I worked for the government this summer that I realized that the "hourly wages= low paying jobs" "salaried wages= high paying jobs" heuristic that I had unconsciously developed was flawed.

Salary with 7.5 hour workdays. Luckily no timesheets as my old job had them. Everyone hated them because you got yelled at if you spent too much time on one file. People ended up making up stuff to please managers.

Yep. Having so much offtime is great, but the hit to the paycheck is not.

Some salary work will still offer overtime pay.

I would rather get OT than flex time, personally

but also, flex time is scrutinized a lot less than OT would be so I guess it's sort of a wash, much easier for me to claim flex time I really dont deserve than OT

Overtime is a good pro of hourly pay. I guess for me, time is more important than money.

But either way I was comparing flex time to standard salaried, which is "you worked 300 hours last week? Good work, Johnson. Keep up those hours."
