While those hired after August 1, 2003 were told of the new OT policy in their offer letters, others were not. I no longer work for the firm, but my start date was on a Wednesday. Two days before (Monday), the HR director for my office called me to tell me they changed the OT policy.
I worked on projects that demanded a lot of OT - I consistently worked 80+ hours a week. I figured it out once, and the policy cost me well over 300 hours of OT pay in the course of my first year. The 3% bump in base salary we were given to compensate for the change did not even come close to making up for those hours. |

You do work a lot of OT here (a lot!!) and you get paid for very little, if any of it.
You may hear stories of people who are getting some OT pay but, if they are, that means they have already worked 12 to 15 unpaid hours of unpaid OT during a time reporting period to get to their first dollar of paid OT pay. If they work 18 hours of OT, they only get 2 or 3 houra of OT pay -- and then only if they are allowed to enter all of their actual OT hours into their timesheets.
I'm not complaining and I'm not criticizing here. I'm just giving the facts, plainly, objectively and truthfully.
