I've been in this exact situation. Upper management wanted an explanation so I broke out Excel and showed a little math. Further I showed HIM what he actually makes given a hypothetical 100k/yr salary and the 65 hr/week I see him working working. He left my cubicle with a furrowed brow.

My manager tried the same thing with me and I declined BEFORE she could finish talking. NO THANK YOU! I saw how they were coming in looking like they hadn’t slept the night before 😂. They were trying to offer me my own store in another city. If it wasn’t a business I opened myself, I wasn’t putting in all those hours. I kept the position as a hourly paid assistant manager for 8 years right out of high school . I was enjoying that overtime, 3 weeks vacation, GOOD insurance, bonuses, 401k, and yearly raise. That insurance was so good I had a lot of dental work done. I finally left when I decided to work in healthcare.

Must more be 150 percent increase. Because, as the above person mentions, you get no extra OT pay (which is usually 1.5x normal pay), but you also have a significant tax deduction. Other than that, I would not want to work 50% more, because it also means 50% less free time. No thank you.

Increase work week by 50% ( 40 hrs to 60 hrs) means total salary salary should be at least 100% of 40 hours plus 175% of 20 hours. ( My going rate for overtime.) I don't have to work overtime very often.

My first job back in the early 90's fresh out of electronics school was a salaried position. I had no idea what that meant until I was worked like a dog 65-70 hours one week and the next week would be a normal 40 hour week and getting the same amount of pay no matter how many hours over 40 I worked, but then one week I missed a day and the company had the nerve to deduct a day of pay from me. they expected me me to work over 40 with no compensation but I missed a day they did not want to pay me the salaried set amount. I quit after that paycheck.

I remember when my mom was switched to salary for second time in her life. The first time, she was pushing 60+ hours a week. She eventually quit because of exhaustion. At the second with a different company, she made it clear with her boss that if they switch her to salary, she will NOT be putting those kinds of hours in. She said she will work more as needed (like a special conference that needs extra attention), but that will not be a weekly occurrence. Fortunately, she was on great terms with her boss and colleagues, so they understood.

Salaries can be, you just need to make sure the condition of work are suitable. I’m on a salary with a set 35 hours a week of work.

So if you work 7 hours of overtime you can take a full day (or two half days) off while still getting paid for that day. This is a benefit of government work in Australia

Prestige! Oh, we’re stealing your time and money but we’re giving you “prestige.” I just love Veronica. When I had been at a job for about 2 years, an opening in another part of the company opened and I applied. It had more upward mobility but the starting pay turned out to be about what I was making. Coworkers said to me “you’ll just have to accept it, if you want to move up.” I thought no. I’m not taking on a lot more work for the same money. That’s a pay cut. When they offered me the job I asked for what I wanted. Got it. Bottom line, you work for money. Any boss feeding you lines that other things are “more important than money” are snowing you. The test is, if they stopped paying you tomorrow, would you continue to work?

And a lot of companies will be very harsh on union employees and find any reason to get them fired because dealing with a union is very expensive and tedious for them.

At my past job team leads (hourly) were making more money than supervisors (salary) as a consequence of mandatory overtime.This led to complaints and eventually the company put a cap on every postion. Once your pay cap was reached, a promotion was required to earn more money. Crazy thing is, at the cap the pay was so high that many leads still refused promotions because they didn't want to deal with the extra responsibilities that come with being a supervisor😂

Depends on the industry and specific job. As an HR director salaried employees over 30 tend to be less stressed. This isn’t a universal rule but since salaried exempt employees can not be docked pay if even ant work was performed that day (DOL Fact Sheet 17g) if you have: A medical condition requiring frequent doctor’s appointments A child with special needs or medical conditions requiring continuous appointments. Multiple court cases due to divorce or other issues. Elderly parents requiring intermittent care. Or any other reason where you need to dip out of the office frequently, being salaried keeps your personal life from costing you money or developing attendance issues where you can be disciplined. Especially when FMLA is only 12 weeks maximum and you need to work for your company for a year with 1250 hours clocked.

This confuses me. I've always been salary at my jobs and rarely had to work over the traditional 40 hour week. I also accrue comp time and overtime pay, with great flexibility in my schedule (meaning I essentially get extra vacation time or time for appointments, which thank god because I have a ton of them). The pay may be less than some contractor gigs, but the flexibility, benefits, retirement, holidays, etc... way outweigh an hourly or contractor role, and you typically lose out in the long run with those, and that extra money does not make up for it. The recent hate towards salary seems pretty misguided
@mandisaw2 ай бұрын
The hate towards salary is like the hate towards college - a misunderstanding combined with classism, and a few bad examples. Hourly means they literally count your minutes, and you have zero flexibility. Usually (not always) no/worse benefits too. Salaried positions are also usually the only thing available as you move up the ladder. So outside of some specific union trades, remaining hourly means giving up autonomy, career mobility, and any ambitions you might have. If that works for you now, fine, but it usually won't work well forever.

On the one hand, she’s right. On the other, if salaried positions come with medical cover, pension included, and tax exemptions of some sort (which can very depending on what job you’re doing and which country you’re in) they’re sometimes still a better deal overall. Not to mention less paperwork and headache. All of that can be overcome with practice though, and frankly, yeah, the only way I’d take a (traditional) salaried position over an hourly one is if it came with complete security and tenure.

Salaried employment implies to be made permanent full-time. It gives credit unions more leverage to find you better loans, enables salary packaging options like tax dodging, some share equity options, redundancy payouts, unionists protection, and as implied amd above else, job security. During an economic slowdown or downturn, you can keep your full pay. Casual (hourly) has very limited access to the above.
@boomergames8094Ай бұрын
Going from temp to perm is a big benefit, but that is separate from hourly and salary. Salary is great if your job doesn't make you work a ton of hours. And studies show that having people work more than about 45-50 on a regular basis actually reduces efficiency and output starts dropping so a 60 hour employee is about as productive as a 40 hour one long term. I had a great salary job that was 40 hours, but quarterly and annual reports meant about 60 hours one week per quarter and once a year. Not bad at all.

Socialism is crazy- people do less work because they’re getting paid the same regardless. Or if you do work harder and make more, they take away the extra in taxes and give it to people who didn’t work as hard

Also most weeks they are 40 and out, it's only emergencies that they work extra hours.

So I live in Canada, every Salaried position I've ever SEEN, heard about, or had, has your 'work hours' listed. 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. Your basic 40 hour package is part of your contract, anything BEYOND that.... Is still OVERTIME pay and they typically do NOT want that, so usually Salary is only manager and above to a bunch of 'hourly' workers that they usually don't employ long enough that if they have to call them in for extra shifts they need like two full shifts to get CLOSE to overtime... Has that changed in the last decade or so? I've been in the Military for 20 years so, I might be out of date.

Also, though, with a salary you get paid the same each month/pay period which makes it easier to manage bills. Plus you don't lose money if you have to miss work. However, the rise of PTO for hourly workers, which really didn't begin until the mid oughts, has made the salary kind of useless. If you can work hourly, get overtime past 40 hours, and still get PTO for when you miss or get sick, then the salary is sort of dead.

In my current hourly position, we’re often encouraged/expected to pursue a salaried, managerial position. Would turn out to be a very similar outcome to this video. 60 hours wouldn’t be an expectation in theory, but realistically, to get everything done, and when considering I’d be “on call” 24 hours a day, I’d probably end up working 60+ hours a week. Meanwhile, in my hourly position, I can CHOOSE to work overtime whenever I decide I want to.

The two salaried positions I had did not measure my time I worked, but my output. So as long as I kept deadlines and completed projects, I could come in a couple minutes late, or leave early or take full hour lunches. Which wasn't a problem because I always level-set the expectations of my coworkers, had hyper focus to knock out work quickly, and communicated what was going on straight up. Plus, they never counted my sick days (about 1 a month due to cramps). But every hourly position has been so regimented, half hour lunch, 3 or fewer sick days a year, keeping me just under hours so no fulltime benefits, switching schedules last minute, no allowance for traffic or weather without being written up for tardiness, no ability to respond to emergencies at home without begging a supervisor... I always wondered why people liked hourly. I couldn't do it. My work only comes home with me at specific high value times of the year, so I value the flexibility of my time on salary and actually have a better work/life balance. Your hours should even out over the year to 40 per week. You do sixty one week? Do 20 the next. stick with the hours you agreed on per paycheck, not their loophole expectations.

When considering going to salaried position, you better be really careful about what kind of responsibilities you have, and there should no be any infinite holes of work or posibility of them changing the responsibilities without compensation following.
