    Hmmmmmm. Guess that probably works out then.

    Same here.

    Actually, we get double time when you work on the holiday (which also means you just get paid an extra eight hours of regular pay for working on that day. Works out the same.)

    Time-and-a-half for "regular" OT.

    We've got high school football playoffs going on, and two of our schools just pulled off upsets and will be playing each other for the title.

    This thread has made me curious, how many of you get paid hourly?

    I haven't been an hourly employee since I graduated college. I'd love to see some of that overtime and holiday pay.

    All right, smart ass, allow me to rephrase:

    How many of you are paid at an hourly rate? :)

    My pimp told me he'd bitch slap me if I gave out my rate on a public messageboard.

    :)

    Seriously though, salary, but not really because if I work 36 hours, I get paid for 36 hours.

    I was hourly when I was a reporter. Those were the good old days.
    Why did I ever let my ex-girlfriend talk me into taking a job as an editor.

    Hourly here. I've never been salary. Viva low person on the totem pole!

    What if you work 50 hours? Do you get paid the same as when you work 36 hours?
