Swimmod_Luna Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I wonder how long it would take someone to notice if I just went in early one day without actually being called in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmod_Luna Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Just now, MEXobiologist said: hey, look at it this way at least OT is something that you do get Well when I say "OT" I mean beyond my scheduled hours. I only get scheduled for 35 a week and have to come in early once a week just to get to 40. I used to get a ton of OT including a lot of mandatory OT. Then they hired a bunch more people and now it's hard to get any real OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEXobiologist Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 i see, so its not actually OT then? just a handful of extra hours. even when we're short staffed, my work is insane about not letting me work more than 40hrs. full time is anywhere from 32-40 hours/wk so i can be scheduled any amount between those hours. when they need some extra help i'll hang around or come in early but they calculate it to a T. all my punches, taking out the lunch breaks, and then will practically drag me to the time clock one minute before i go over.

Yeah they call it "extended hours". Anything up to 40 isn't technically OT since we still get paid at our regular rate, anything beyond 40 you get time and a half. Supposedly when they need people to cover shifts they look for people who need to make up extended hours first but I've had plenty of times where I wasn't able to get to 40 in a week and saw full time people getting OT so I'm not sure if that's true. They try to keep the OT down but it's a residential facility so somebody always has to be here for the clients. Back in the summer I was averaging 45-50 hours a week, while still only being scheduled for 35. One time I had 35 hours of OT on one check.

I did volunteer quite a bit but most of the OT I was getting in the summer was mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misaka Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 At my job over time was only counted after 50 hours instead of 40 hours but then again being a bar/restaurant that is open until 1am it seems right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to mandate me is insulting and disrespectful. My being an employee doesn't mean they own me as they would own appliances. I've got other shit to do on my scheduled days off and when I want some OT, I'll call them, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
