Thing that sucks with salary is you don't get no OT
However youdon't "have" to work your 160 hrs a month put get paid for it. Also bonuses are NICE!
Salary vs Paid by the hour Vol. Which do you prefer?

It's not so much as which one does one prefer as to which one can someone obtain right now...
I just say...having a job FtW
Edit: I'm hourly and time and a 1/2 is the BEST

It really depends on the job. Companies/Positions that establish salaries are usually more "serious" or careers where things like tardiness are lesstolerated. There's always exceptions of course.

Being able to have more of a flexible schedule, especially with PTO is a perk of a salary. Knowing month in and month out what your paycheck is going to beallows for more accurate planning.

im salary and i swear im getting f'd over at times.
i was working on this project which involved alot of extra out of my way time, like working extra hours and even came in on a saturday to complete it.
I take my work serious , I dont want to be one of the bums fired here & or lose my job.
I asked my sup , which she asked her boss if my ot time that i requested would be approved, which was 7 extra hours.
He requested that i just bill the contract 7 regular hours & not OT.
I was bummed out, this was yesterday when i had to fill out timesheets,
smh
smh again.

I agree. This is probably the reason why I love salary pay... Come in late... leave early... and still get paid a full day.

I hate salary workers. Most of them are as lazy as can be. It's no wonder America is crumbling--they're all counterproductive and don't want towork for their buck. Roaches FTL. My favorite means of compensation I've received was full-commission. It motivates people to work hard, and if you'regood, you make more money than your peers.

What do I care about time and a half when my salary is more than enough to compensate for the hours I put in? My previous job was salary also, I didn't do#*@#. I told people if converted to an hourly wage I'd be making an inifinite amount of money. That's theoretically what you'd get if dividing mysalary by 0 hours of work done right?
That's beside the point though. I got bored at that job and actually put in more than 40 hours/wk at my current job and am happy here. I SMH at people whoapplaud laziness and making an easy $, but SMH more at jobs that allow it.
