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
The fact that I am exempt and would never get overtime does make me a lot more cavalier about these things. Added to the part where we can't roll over any leave time at all, and I really DGAF. I spent a significant amount of time working on my day off? I'm not charging it as a day off!
So, speaking of work, I'm doing a great job of talking myself out of applying for anything. But it's hard! Everything is awkward when you don't even have a cube at work, so I'm trying to only apply for things I really want. And most of the jobs in my field around here are at hospitals and universities, and I don't think I want that. I mean, I'm worked at two medium-large places now, and the bureaucracy is more than I want to deal with, so do I actually want to get into an actual bureaucracy?? But then on the flip side, small places don't pay enough, even if they are looking for someone like me (which mostly they aren't.) It is a dilemma!
You are right, suzi, that is very wrong!!
Jesse, if you'd like to talk about university bureaucracies, I am sure my sister would be happy to talk to you. She works in Cambridge but has applied for and interviewed at other places, and seems to have a good handle on administrative cultures overall.
