Bell Communications Research pays overtime after 40 hours, I believe it is something like 1.5 * regular pay. Double time on weekends and holiday's. BTW. I am trying to get back to school and finish my BS. Sort of got side tracked for a year here. Anybody know where I can go to school with a part time job that would cover tuition charges, and enough to live on; as an under- grad?? I worked it out that way for two years, but want to transfer to a better school. So where is NMSU on this net anyway?? <ras> sitze!rruxo!ihnp4

(i.e if I worked 60 hours, I got paid for 60 hours). My colleagues on the other hand did not get a similar deal. Then again, I approched my boss and asked for it. I think the fact that it was a small to medium sized company made this possible. The pevious year when I worked for GTE in Needham, Mass. a similar arrangement would have been unheard of. dmsealy@mit-amt.MIT.EDU

Raytheon Submarine Signal Division in Portsmouth, Rhode Island pays overtime based on the calculated straight-time pay per hour (we are salaried on a monthly basis), up to either 8 or 12 hours per week, depending on prior approval. If you're on a project that expects overtime work, you are usually just put on the overtime roster without any hassles. The overtime pay is paid each month in a separate check, which is sort of like a little bonus if you don't budget around it. --Heather Emanuel {allegra, decvax!brunix, linus, raybed2} rayssd!hxe -------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't think my company *has* an opinion, so the ones in this article are obviously my own. --------------------------------------------------------------------

In most of the programming positions I worked in overtime was not required but assumed. Most people worked overtime simply because they wanted too. If you are interested in something and like working on it and if no one expects you to work overtime and you do it on your own, fine. BUT, those lame reasons managers calling you not a "team player" or "lack of commitment" is hog wash. Most overtime is caused by mis-management and lack of planning. These so-called emergencies usually happen because of the above. Taking it out on the people you manage is not only not right it will come back to haunt you in the form of turnover and upset employes. The suggestion made to of course try and avoid all this by talking about all this during the interview and again with your manager. The company you work for doesn't give there goods away..and nether should you! David A. Roth ...decvax!pur-ee!isrnix!pugsly ...ihnp4!isrnix!pugsly Indianapolis,IN

> I have been working overtime at time and a half for 6 months now. > > Bruce E. Shaver > AT&T Bell Laboratories > Naperville IL ^ | Is this why my phone bill is so much ? :-) Seriously though, what exactly do you mean by a professional??? Are you trying to distinguish between a programmer and a computer scientist? It is really another topic and perhaps could be discussed elsewhere. Here at GE's Corporate R&D Center, the hourly workers get paid by the hour, obviously. If they work more than 40 hours a week then they are compensated accordingly. I am a member of the R&D staff and thus termed "exempt". That means that I have certain responsibilities to the company. If I need 60 hours to complete some work, then I have to spend late nights here to do it. It is my responsibility to do what it takes to make a project successful. If I can get it done only spending 30 hours a week then that is fine also.My pay will be the same in both cases. I guess working more than 40 is refered to as "casual overtime". Most have to do it but no one is directly paid for the additional time. The fact that I don't get money for the extra time I put in does not bother me, there are other compensating factors. I don't have to punch a clock, I don't have to be here right at 8:00. There are freedoms but along with them are responsibilities. I like it this way. -- Steve Hammond arpa: hammond@ge-crd uucp: ...rochester!steinmetz!hammond

You should also remember that the company is always a week or two behind in your paycheck. So if anyone owes someone else something, the company owes you!
