At my work, if you are made a salary employee you are expected to work overtime or work whenever it's deemed necessary. Your paycheck is quite a bit higher than an hourly employees.
If you're an hourly employee and work overtime you are paid to do so. You don't clock out until you leave. If you work after clocking out, you are subject to disciplinary action including termination.
I get paid for OT so I guess I can't comment. Everyone I know gets paid for OT.
Some people are able to choose comp time. I wish I could.
Yeah same here. I even got paid if I was called at home. Holiday was double time same as Sundays.
I dont know anyone who isn't paid overtime for working over 40 hours. I mean other than salaried workers, but they chose to go after the big bucks up front. Careful what you wish for, you might get it.
I did, and became a contractor and got paid for it. 800 OT hours few years ago, but now there is no OT since all the work is going to India. I actually had to train them to do my job which they finally learned. Its probably time to look for a new gig before the axe falls.

Yep. Now the new trend is that hourly workers have to pay travel expenses out of their own pocket. Things have taken a turn for the worse.

Where? Every job I ever had the employer paid travel expenses. I just retired 6 months ago and was paid for a trip I took for the company 2 weeks before retiring. Well paid an allotment to include up to $20 for each meal. Alcohol not included. Company normally flew me business class. Always nice hotels and car rental.
Now if you work for a small company I can see that maybe they won't pay travel expenses, but then as an employee I am not going if I have to pay for it.
Hey- don't worry that huge corporate tax break will trickle down...eventually.
Yeah, right. I was an S-Corp, and my taxes went up by so much I converted to W2. If you are an S-Corp, you might want to check with your tax guy, because you could be looking at a big disappointment next March.
You are right, but you are being unfairly put under pressure at that point for an answer.
I walked out at 5 anyway
At this point you need to understand the IT terms involved. I got a lot of work done that day and it still wasn't enough.
I think that was plain enough. OT is for emergencies
My husband was an Independent Contractor in IT for many years. He billed the company for his hours worked, which was stated in the contract signed. If there was a some push for a special project and they wanted him to work past 5 PM, he billed for those extra hours he worked.

As a full time employee the company will always pay for it (and charge the client), but if you are working for yourself as a contractor, or as a W2 through a consulting firm, the clients used pay for the travel expenses, but now that is changing. Consulting firms won't pay for it anymore, because the clients wont reimburse them. The client might pay for a small portion of it, or none at all. Not sure what changed, but maybe they can't deduct it in taxes anymore, or something. Maybe they realized they are holding all the cards and don't have to pay. I was asked to pay for a full month on the road. Airfare, rental car, hotels, everything. My client is in Top-10 largest corporations in US.
