Overtime - Contract Employee
Overtime - Contract Employee
(OP)
Hello,
Curious if some could shed some light on the subject of overtime when you are a contract employee.
I started a project working within a company. They misjudged the time required for it. I have been working 55-60 hour weeks to keep the schedule.
I gave them a pretty fair rate, which is fine for the 40 hours. It would be nice to get some reward out of helping them meet deadlines.
Thanks.

I worked as a jobshopper for years. If you were paid hourly, you generally got the overtime.
If you were paid a salary, it depended on the fine print.

Thanks. When I started it was just a verbal contract as far as price. I'll talk with my manager about it.

I presented it that I had been putting in a bunch of time to keep a project on target. He referred it to the HR person.
