Can someone explain how being on salary works as far as work hours/week?
I’ve had my current job for about 18 months, and I’ve been full-time for 1 year now. In September, I got moved from hourly to salary and there’s always just seemed like a “gray area” around things like hours, days off, and PTO, so I wanted to come ask people who have been in their positions for much longer and who have more experience either on salary or as executive leadership.
My typical work week looks like this: I work Mon-Thu, off on Friday, work all day Saturday (7:30-4) and off Sunday. My roles have changed throughout the past 5 months on salary, but I’m still working roughly the same hours/shifts.
Yesterday (Saturday) I got asked if I could work today, and I answered with “I’m not sure” because that’s the honest truth. Sundays are hard for me to work, and my boss turned around and said “well you’re on salary, so I’ll see you tomorrow” and walked off. While confused, I guess she made sense, but it also seemed like a gray area because I do try to fill up my Sundays with everything I need to do/didn’t get to do Saturday while working. #business source
