They want me at 100 hours a pay period, or 7.75/shift. While this generally is possible, there are nights that I run up to 8 1/2 hours. Again, generally I can keep within what they want. What I am tired of is the constant nagging and distrust. And what do I do about the nights that I run over that? Assume I work for free?
Do you just get paid for a certain amount of hours per night/per week? Is it that they aren't paying you for the alloted time, or just not paying you for time over the alloted time?
I'm not entirely sure, and this is a source of frustration for me. I can try my level best to keep within the 100 hours, and she'll still dock me to 96 or 97. I can't figure out what they want. I have had more than one discussion with her, with it ending, "I understand and I'll do my best to keep it within that." Go pick up the check and find it to be docked, even though I have kept track and worked more than that.

Myself I would fire you ,you clearly stated you are expected to work a 7.75 hour day not over that. Sounds like you are ineffiecient. Are the employers authorizing your overtime, are you just staying over because you didn't get the work done in your shift and know you think you should be paid for staying over.

I gotta agree. CB of all people should know that things don;t alwasy take a given amount of time when working with livestock.
A few cows that get balky when they're going into the parlor, pressure washer hose break, the list goes on and on. It isn;t like working at wlmrt

Hope getting salary pay doesn't backfire on you, always work more hours than they pay you for on salary, could be just their way of getting more work out of you, and actually paying you less when its all said and done.

Dun you of all people should know if the guy was putting in time without permission he was stealing from the owners. It is plain and simple you hire a man and he agrees to work for a certain time are you responsible for paying the bum if he works over with out permission. You must be a lot more free with your money than I am with mine.

I wouldn't be so quick to accuse someone of stealing without knowing the full story, which none of us really do. Maybe it's the employer that was doing the stealing. Let's say the employer gives someone 8 hrs to do a job that they know will take longer. They also know the employee is diligent enough to stick around till the job is done. If they don't pay the employee for that extra time then they are stealing from him.[/quote:1wgq1oae]
