Hours You Work Per Week

When I had a job that could include overtime it was applied daily, after 8 hours. I think this is regular practice in the netherlands.

Now I have irregular official hours, I guess max. 20 hours a week on average. Suits me fine!

 

When I worked on machines I was paid OT after 8, double time and after 8 again if we slipped over the total of 16 it was triple time and triple time was also paid on any holiday we worked.
Plus we got an extra break spot in the shift on double time after 8 so it was two lunch breaks and two coffee breaks.

 

In the summer I work 6 days a week, 16-18 hours a day. In the winter I go to school full time and work part time (13 hours or so). It's a good balance for me.

 

I work 40 hrs and go to school part time. I wanted to work part time and go to school full time but my job doesnt offer benefits to part time employees

 

I am on salary so I work around 12 hrs a day, 5 days a week at the office and then I am still on call 24/7 for anything that might come up after that. Those are things that can usually be handled over the phone but sometimes I still have to come in to work to take care of something.

I do remember when I was 16 I worked on a work over rig in the oilfield. I lied about me age because you had to be 18 but I wanted the job because of the money it paid. In two weeks time I worked 180 hours, some of it was on paper because we would get so many hours to rig up, rig down and to move the rig but I do know that I was one worn out kid after that and then when I got paid I was pissed off because I had to pay most of it on federal taxes.

 

I don't miss the days when I was in school and working. My school was 46 hours a week. I worked 32 hours a week on top of that. I was NEVER home. Thank god that only lasted a year. I only had 2 days off that year. Christmas and Easter. I went to school 6 days a week then worked most nights. The only day I didn't have school I would work a 12 hour day.

 

Yeah when I was in school I had 3-4 hours of down time each day during the week. Sucked. After 3 years of doing that I really learned to appreciate sleep.

 

full time. generally somewhere around 60 hours a week, but i'm currently doing two jobs and am in the process of hiring someone to do one of those jobs, so i should be able to work a more reasonable schedule after that.

just the one job (well two really, but just one employer and just one pay).

we don't hire anyone under 16. the oldest employee whose age i know is 73, but there's a couple people there that look potentially older than that.



overtime is anything over 40 hours, for the hourly employees. i'm salary though, so no such thing for me.

and yes, working through school is a bitch. my last semester of grad school, i think i fell asleep at my computer about 5 nights a week.
