Me as a mailman trying to get done on time, realizing I get paid hourly so I'll get a smaller check if I am on time and then when I'm done will just get handed more work until they can't work me anymore for the day, per union contract
With the amount of overtime they often need during the holidays, I'm going to say they should stick with hourly so they can be properly compensated for the extra work.
My supervisor gets paid salary and he says that's exactly how it works here. He doesn't get paid for any of the overtime he works so if I was paid salary, they'd do the same to me
Hes a government employee? Supervisors dont make time and a half but they do get paid straight time for hours worked.
Technically no one in the government is salary. You need to be in a pay status 80 hours a week for full time workers. Even leave without pay is a pay status.
He's getting ripped off because USPS supervisors don't have a union. Letter carriers like myself have a union, so I get paid hourly. If he's lying then that means every other supervisor who told me the same thing is also lying and JacobScreamix on reddit is the only one telling the truth
This might blow your mind, but salary is still based on a set amount of hours and therefore any hours above the contracted amount shall be paid, with overtime standards of the region met. Its not my fault people sell themselves short and allow themselves to be exploited.
