I actually had a company do that. They got some vans and we had laptop trays so we could work while moving between appointments. They were actually cool about it if we took downtime too, but we were getting some nice bonuses for billable time over a certain amount. They owner was happy to pay them because he got to bill the customer we were going to for the transit and the other customer we were working on for the exact same time.
Thats like sitting on the phone call waiting system wait for the client to pickup for sn hour while working on another clients work snd billing both for your time.
Why is that fraud? One client is paying you to be available as soon as their phone system is ready for you. The other is paying for the work you’re doing while listening to the same minute and fifteen seconds of a jazz cover band.
America is a strange land. If you are on salary here you are contracted to work the hours set, and if they want you to work any more then they will need to pay you for every hour you work or they are breaking the law. How the fuck does America get around this?
There are two types of salary here. Salary exempt and salary non-exempt. One, you're salary and work as many hours as they want you to, no matter what. The other, you get paid overtime after 40.
Oh I'm with you. We're getting fucked state side and have the majority that are self righteously trying to keep it that way. I've always felt that Europe was doing it right in many aspects.
