depends on how many hrs of OT u were doing & at what rate OT was paid as a clerk.  if u were doing @ least 10 hrs of OT per wk (or 50 hrs per wk like mgr) as hrly clerk @ time and a half for OT, u just took a pay cut by becoming salaried mgr.  otherwise it almost looks like u may have broken even.  if u want 2 reconcile the viewpoints, ask for comp time for anything over 45 hrs.  u're not asking 4 more $, but xtra comp time can translate n2 cash if u figure time is money.  just a thought.

Probably $35-40,000. I think its a great job, I suggested it to my husband. You get great experience at the job and can move up.

Let's see...   That's 7hrs/day mon-fri, so 35 hrs.  You work 17 hrs on the weekend.  I'd figure that's 5 hrs regular, and 12 hrs OT\n\nSo 40 x 6 + 12 x 9 = 348\n\nNow what you get after taxes depends on what you put on your W2.  If you aren't listed as a dependant for someone else, you probably should keep a good chunk of that, so my guess is $250-300.  Ca ching.\n\nYou can probably get a much more accurate number from your employer, or a coworker.\n\nBy the way, the California minimum is $6.75.  Federal is $5.15.

I am not a lawyer but the answer is...\n\nIt depends.  The definition of over time is more than 40 hours a week.  The above situation would be true if they adjusted your schedule so that you did not work more than 40 hours in a week or 80 hours in a two week pay period.\n\nAnd only hourly employees receive overtime pay.  If you are salaried you do not receive any extra pay.

jack430 gave you a great link to the pay chart.  And you get paid twice a month.  Half on the first, half on the fifteenth.  Plus, remember that is just the basic pay.  If you have dependants, are in a combat zone, etc.  you rate extra pay.

Go to paycheckcity.com and then personal calculators on the left and then hourly paycheck calculator from the drop down. Works for me and is pretty accurate.

http://www.salary.com\n\nI checked out this site and found out I wasn't making as much as I should in my field, then "miraculously" I got a raise and it brought me up to the median.....

Overtime is typically time and one-half.\n\n$4.75  X 1.5  = $7.125   or $7.13

In the US, overtime pay is a requirement if people earn money by the hour  (Such as: $10 per hour).  As the person above me pointed out, overtime pay only applies if you work more than 40 hours with the same company.  Salary is a set amount of money for each month.  So if you are on salary, it doesn't matter how much you work.  You are paid a certain amount per month and nothing else. \n\nAnother exception to overtime pay is commission.  (Commission is money you make from selling a product).  Salesmen only on commission get money from the sales they make.  They aren't paid for their labor.  Of course, rules vary for salesmen.  Some salesmen (in addition to commissions) get paid by the hour or they get a salary.  (And if they are paid by the hour, I suppose overtime rules apply to them).  Some salesmen get only commission because the company is too poor to pay them any wages.\n\nOne thing that stinks about overtime pay is that the taxes are higher.  It hardly seems fair, but that's the way it is.

I am under paid. I get $11/hour and should be getting much more for all the extra I do at my office. I am not worried about it, I know they are happy with my work and I have a review coming up soon.

Tons.  40 an hour isn't really that high.  It could be anything from lawyers, company management, almost anything mid-level and senior.  You have to be more specific.  In general, just go with what you like and hopefully the money will follow.

I can start you at $9.50 an hour.\n\nProve yourself and it goes up.

Complain to the local labor enforcement agency. It's usually listed under the State Government in the phone book. But you should have that wage promise in writing. Otherwise they can deny they ever made the promise. You might try emailing your boss to ask about it and then getting a documented response from him. Anything they say that indicates there was a verbal agreement could be used against them. That's why you should send an email. If he responds verbally, then send him an email that summarizes what he said. "Thanks for answering my question today in your office. I understand that I will be getting $X per hour starting next week. Please let me know if I misunderstood."

In the end it all comes down to experience. Unfortunately I was told that at the current company I work for that I would be making anywhere from $11-$13/hour (Not stated anywhere just told this). I ended up making $10/hour. When I asked why, I was told it was because of my lack of experience. A co-worker of mine makes $10.50 (50 cents more than me) for having 3 months more experience than me (0 days of experience in the current industry/field). To me that's just plain silly and unfair. But I don't really care. I don't have any college degrees so this is about the limit for a recent highschool grad!
