Do you make your money by the hour or do you make an annual salary?

What do you like or dislike about it and why?

Annual. I guess the nice thing is that it means I don't really have set hours, just do the work that's needed. Sometimes that means a 20 hour week, sometimes that means a 60 hour week.

Houry = like. Generally salary they can work you over 40 hours a week for the same wage. In my case anything over 8 hours a day and over 40 hours a week is overtime. However in rare cases, such as in my company, the people on salary dont often have to work over 40 hours as week these days....but I don think thats common.

Not really. I'm paid once a month by the Department of Education.

 

My hours are long though.

 

I'm always at school by at least 7:00 AM.  And during our competitive season sometimes I'm not home till 11:00 at night.  Not to mention competition Saturdays, Practices, Overnight trips where I am responsible for the kids, Basketball Pep Band, Concerts, Musicals, Plus the Gen ed Curriculum and Elective Classes I teach, I have a lot of uncompensated hours.

 

But I still make a good salary, and I love my job.  Wouldn't trade.

Salary. I don't recommend it as there have been times where I work 60 hours a week and only get paid for 40.

But salary does have some benefits, but they're few and far between.

I work at Wal-mart they pay me 7.65 an hour for a crappy cashier job. If I didn't have student loans to pay I would most likely not be there.

hourly job. i'm underpaid to prep an entire menu for a local diner with 4.5 other people. .5 because one guy sucks and does half the work and takes way too long to do a simple job.

I work salary and I'm not terribly happy with the way it's run. I'm expected to come in for atleast 40 hours a week even if I don't have 40 hours worth of work some weeks (very rare but happens occasionally), but other weeks I have to put in 50+ hours and I don't get any extra compensation for that.
