How much unpaid OT do you work in a year?

[celiboy]

I'm just curious as to how much OT people are putting in each year that is unpaid. When I speak of OT I mean anything greater than a 37.5 hour work week - or 40 in some cases. At my job I'm between 200-300 OT hours each year and all we get for it is a few days off in lieu so I'm curious if this is in the normal range for a salaried employee.

sounds about right..

Who works a 37.5 hour week? I probably worked a couple hundred hours of OT last year. I'm salaried, so that's all uncompensated.

So... you work a 42.5-hour week? Are you getting friday afternoons off?

Not-for-profit (not non) is usually like a ~38.5 hour week. It has to be sub-40. I don't really remember why anymore but when i worked at UL I'm sure i was told whatever stipulation in the not-for-profit code caused them to have all the salary employees at 38.5

No I don't, but "officially" I'm on a 37.5 hour work week and my total OT does not include lunch. If I included the times I worked thru lunch I guess that's another 100 hours as I don't always work thru lunch.

FYI salaried does not always mean you are exempt from overtime.

I am a salaried It guy and I have worked 21 hours days for the last 4 days in a row and this is pretty much the norm! I would say that I work between 300 and 400 hours a year in upaid OT. If there are big project going on this number could be even higher. I have spent 5 days at work without going home before!

No wonder you IT guys are so grumpy when I call you on the phone to sell you more stuff you really dont need.

I work 200-300 HRS of overtime per year. I am on 100% commision so I do not get paid by the hour or a salary. I have to talk some grumpy IT guy into buying something before I get paid.

[BradleyT]

How much do you get paid for reading OOT is a better question.

I'd say about $8,000 a year.

I'm a salaried IT guy, but I'm unionized, so I only work 37.5 hours per week. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

If I work overtime, I usually take time in lieu of pay. However, I haven't had to work overtime in almost 2 years.

[theBruiser500]

For those people that might not have realized what OT is right away like me, overtime.

[cardcounter0]

Zero. I bill by the hour. But then again, I get Zero overtime pay also.

It depends on wether we consider subjective bonuses which are somewhat correlated with how many hours worked. If not about 1200 probably.

[Bulldog]

1.5 today, 2.0 by your crazy 37.5 standard.

I was going to type all the data from memory but determined that a link was easier.

I'm hourly and staying that way as long as I can.

I'm on-call 24/7 and if the phone even rings once it's 15 minutes. If I'm thinking about work during off-hours I'm charging them.

Dear crap I hope you get paid a lot. Either that or get a new damn job. That's just insane.

[Shajen]

salaried and as of 3 months ago I get overtime.

Before that, I averaged 10 hours a week unpaid overtime. Now, they kick me out at 5 unless I have a "really valid reason" to stay...like I was just sitting here beforehand... /images/graemlins/mad.gif

[IndieMatty]

I have never, ever ever ever worked more then say 20 hours in a week.

[tom441lbk]

Yeah, I am an independent contracter, so for all hours I get paid the same amount, from the 1st hour I work, up to the 65th hour i work, and it sometimes gets that high.

AHHH i hate work!

[iMsoLucky0]

I don't get it.

Why the hell are you guys working 200-300 hours a year without getting paid for it? How can you work unpaid overtime? That seems against the law or something.

Umm, so that they don't fire my ass. [censored] needs to get done and you can't just leave at 5.

[iMsoLucky0]

So they can fire you for NOT doing somethign that they AREN'T paying you for?

That's absurd.

Yes, grasshopper, in time you will learn that the world does not work perfectly in accordance with logic and fairness.
