I would be more sanguine about working more than I'm scheduled if there wasn't this underlying philosophy that bitching about it is Not Allowed. Anything out then a perky "Oh boy, I get a chance to contribute more to the cause! Yippee!" is greeted with confusion and disappointment. Even a pout of annoyance that there are customers that have to be dealt with ten minutes past quitting time is greeted with disapproval. "You know that's part of the job, that we have to deal with all the customers in the queue at the end of the day." "Yes, and I'm dealing with them, but why shouldn't I be allowed to be annoyed that I have to stay late? For the fourth day in a row?" And I get a look of puzzlement that any request from the Boss would be greeted with annoyance by any properly thinking person.

Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
died. Sudden aortic rupture. He looked seriously healthy to me! He was scheduled to retire in 6 week
Wow, that's scary and sad!! I definitely want to enjoy my retirement someday!!
I have email on my phone, and will occasionally respond to something easy or urgent while on weekend or vacation...but generally if I'm on more than a one day vacation I figure they can call me if it's truly important.
Laura, how scary! My heart goes out to all who loved him! And yes, do please find a way to rest and relax.
I have put in 14.5 hours of OT so far but I won't get paid for 8 of that due to the holiday.
This does not make sense to me and is not how we would have done it when I worked in payroll.
A huge benefit to taking a backpacking vacation where there is no cell service - no emergency work calls.
I have put in 14.5 hours of OT so far but I won't get paid for 8 of that due to the holiday.You mean you won't get paid at OT rate? You'll get paid, right, but at regular time rate?
This does not make sense to me and is not how we would have done it when I worked in payroll.
We wouldn't get overtime unless the hours actually worked was over 40, but if we worked 40 hours and there was an 8 hour holiday, we would get 48 hours straight pay. So I think you should get 48 hours straight pay plus 6.5 hours overtime.
-t, it is a recent change to how OT is calculated when there is time off - PTO and Holidays are now treated the same. Ish. If you take more PTO than you should due to OT, the "extra" PTO goes back in the pot. If you have OT and Holiday, you just plain lose the OT.
You'll get paid, right, but at regular time rate?
Nope. I get paid straight time for OT. But when there is a holiday in the pay period, it counts against the OT. I have complained to Corporate cause I had this happen with the 4th of July. So I just plain lose 8 hours of pay. I hates it. It is wrong like a wrong thing that is wrong. But I don't know what I can do about it.
Oh- and I end up at least answering some emails on my vacation because I am the only person who can register non-credit students. There is also only one person who can register credit bearing students, but we work in different departments so we are not cross trained to cover each other. We both try to take vacations during low volume times, but if there are registrations that need to be process immediately (like the class is about to start) we do it from home on our vacations. I have no idea how that will work once I move from exempt to non-exempt with the new federal regulations.
Suzi- are you exempt, but paid hourly, or non-exempt? Because if you are non-exempt, I suspect that is against federal wage and salary regulations. You could ask www.askamanager.com
