I'm really looking forward to that changing very soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399494 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:19:30 +0000 doxielove 399494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband picks up the occasional OT shift. I work salary so I'm not elegible for OT pay. I rarely, rarely ever work over 40 hours to begin with so it doesn't matter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399486 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:18:05 +0000 MrsTiz 399486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not very often. I only do if DH does because we ride to work together.</p> <p>I think in the past 2 months both of us combined have gotten 2 hours overtime lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399472 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:15:24 +0000 HLK208 399472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH gets a lot of over time. He works 20-30 hours over most weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399457 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:10:40 +0000 Turd Ferguson 399457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're both salaried, but DH gets OT...and a lot of it which is (financially!) fabulous. It can mean long hours/days/weeks, but at this point, it works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399441 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:04:56 +0000 daniellemybelle 399441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm salaried and I don't get paid overtime... but I always work overtime. I'm not even sure what my "time" is.... it's "until you get it done," basically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399412 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:57:30 +0000 meaganceleste 399412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to get OT even though I was salaried, but when I got promoted to Manager, I lost my paid overtime :( </p> <p>My husband is in Public Accounting and works like 70-80 hours a week during Busy Season with no OT at all, but he does get a post-Busy Season bonus and meals reimbursed for days he works over 10 hours, but its not quite the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399156 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:38:01 +0000 DillonLion 399156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hourly, but we aren't allowed to work overtime. </p> <p>DH works for an association that puts on events for members occasionally, so sometimes he has to work late attending the events as one of his job responsibilities is all event photography. So, sometimes he has to work late, but it is usually because he is at an event rather than pouring over work at his desk or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399155 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:37:41 +0000 mrsjazz 399155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm salaried so I don't get OT. DH is salaried, but gets overtime if it's something like working on a Saturday or running an extra workshop, but doesn't get overtime for working late M-F. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399152 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:36:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 399152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get paid hourly. My husband is salaried but still gets overtime, which is soooo nice. He only gets it in four hour increments. So he has to work four hours extra, then eight hours extra, etc. if he stay over three hours then he'll try to find something to do for the last hour so he can get the overtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399146 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:35:18 +0000 Meridian 399146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm self employed, so I guess I work overtime when I'm at home answering emails late into the night! But then sometimes I veg on the couch in the afternoons and watch tv when I need a break... so it balances out!</p> <p>DH is salaried, but luckily gets overtime! Depending on what deals are going on, he works 10 - 20 hours of overtime a month. It really makes a big difference in his take-home pay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399130 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:30:47 +0000 cranberry 399130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we're both salaried and we don't get paid for overtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-399075 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:16:30 +0000 ladyfingers 399075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I'm on salary. DH's employer does not allow overtime any longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398750 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:48:52 +0000 mrs. bird 398750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does. Right now he's working 70+ hour weeks. He'd love to only work 40 &amp; make enough for us to live off of, but that isn't happening. We are thankful for his opportunity to work extra hours elsewhere within the same organization so he's able to get x1.5, even if much of it is mandatory. We couldn't get by without the extra $$.</p> <p>No one has addressed it in this thread, but there was much discussion in the fiscal cliff thread so I'm adding it for some prospective for those that might not have a similar experience to ours, but as far as how hard he works or how much responsibility he has or the amount of education he is required to have (and the student debt that goes along with that)- he works with children with serious developmental delays and special needs, he works within the academy where they go to school &amp; the residential facility where most if them have been institutionalized, so he's responsible for many aspects of these children's lives, he has had his fingers broken, multiple sprains, a dislocation, and a fingernail put through his cornea, everyday his students smear &amp; scoot in fecal matter which he has to clean up &amp; often attempt to urinate on him during outbursts. He only gets bathroom breaks, no lunch break, he eats with students where his food is often stolen or wrecked by students. He is required to complete his masters in the next few years and continue taking classes to maintain his credentials. As a nanny working 4 days a week, my take home is TWICE his if he doesn't work extra hours at x1.5. So my point is that, we have a high debt to income ratio, he is educated, works extremely long ours in a physically and emotionally taxing job with a great deal of responsibility in a state with a high cost of living, but he gets paid crap because our government lacks funding to support these children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398719 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:43:09 +0000 Alivoo01 398719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're both salaried so even if we work OT, we don't get paid for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398704 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:40:01 +0000 prettylizy 398704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both salary (well DH is actually comission) so if we work late there is no extra pay. For DH sometimes he has to stay late or go in on days off if it means meeting a client or making a sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398690 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:37:12 +0000 Smurfette 398690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both salary but DH works a minimum of 50+ hours a week. Too bad he doesn't get overtime. I usually just work 40 hours a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398660 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:28:00 +0000 rachiecakes 398660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: same<br /> Only a few hours over at the end of the month, though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398639 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:23:30 +0000 PurplePumps 398639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm salaried, but luckily, we get paid overtime also. I usually only do 8-16 hrs a month though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398593 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:07:38 +0000 cvbee 398593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SO does as much as he can while I'm on maternity leave. Usually 2 hours extra per day and sometimes a 6 hour shift on Saturday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398590 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:06:33 +0000 littlek 398590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both salaried but I put in 10 - 20 hours overtime a week and DH about 40 hours of overtime. We don't get paid for our overtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398578 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:01:24 +0000 ValentineMommy 398578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm salaried, but if I worked over 40 hours, I would get overtime pay. However, they generally prefer to give you time off on another day instead (if I worked an extra 2 hours, leave 2 hours early the next day, for example). </p> <p>DH just found out his job is offering OT for the weekends. He can choose Sat or Sun (or both) and it can be any weekend(s) of his choosing. He's going to do it once a weekend until the baby is born. It's like, an extra grand a month, so it's pretty hard to turn down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398570 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:58:29 +0000 winniebee 398570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're both salaried - but my husband works like 80 hours a week and doesn't get paid any extra for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398566 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:56:49 +0000 yoursilverlining 398566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, both of us are salaried employees ineligible for OT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398561 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:53:33 +0000 Bookish 398561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, DH gets overtime every week, usually only a few hours, but it adds up! He's going salary next month, and although I'll be glad for the 'regular' paycheck, I'll miss him picking up extra moola!! I, on the other hand, can't pick any up. Not allowed! Boo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398559 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:53:08 +0000 SugarplumsMom 398559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and I hate it. Ever since DH and his coworkers were basically sold to another company, he's been doing a lot more OT. It's only an extra hour a day, but it really takes away from our family time and messes up our dinner schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398545 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:43:05 +0000 Ash 398545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to pick up extra shifts every pay period... and DH always puts in five 10 hour days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398520 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:29:08 +0000 Andrea 398520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we've never had jobs with OT but we always get year end bonuses so that's motivation for putting in long hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398519 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:28:57 +0000 heffalump 398519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm a SAHM, and DH is on salary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-work-overtime#post-398515 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:26:46 +0000 autumnlove 398515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH maybe gets 10 OT hours a month and I don't get any. Sometimes, I'll work on project past my leaving time but I'm salaried so I guess that doesn't count! </p>
