"I am not ACN employee yet, but for what I know you get paid OT for every hour you work over 48 hours."
That's not true. You speculated that "if you consistently work 60 hours/week, than you will get paid 12 hours/week in OT." Well, maybe at some companies, but not at Accenture. If, in an 88 hours (11 day) bi-monthly pay period you work 60 hrs one week and then a 9 hours a day for the next 6 work days (total, 11 days), you will have worked 116 hours, but you will only get paid for 88 hours. The extra 26 hours would be unpaid. Only after the 117th hour would you get OT (at regular pay rate) -- and then, only if your supervisor allowed you to enter your actual hours into your time report. What often happens is that you are told to move the OT hours into the next pay period in order to avoid giving the client sticker shock. So if you work 122 hours in one 88 hour pay period and 98 hrs in the next 88 hour pay period (total, 220 hours), you will be asked to take 10 hours from the 122 period and report it in the 98 hour period, making the two periods 112 and 108 hours, respectively. This will result in no OT at all.
Basically, you have to go over 120% of normal hours in each bi-monthly pay period to get any OT (and be allowed to enter that time) in order to get any OT pay. So, while there is a lot of OT, there is very little OT pay (if any). |

Sorry, 88 + 18 is 116 (not 88 + 26). You would be unpaid for the next 18 hours.
Being an Accenture employee, basic arithmetic was not tested at my job interview. Besides, I delegate all my arithmetic to the new analyst on the team (and bill the client $120/hr while he does it).
