This is wild to me. I'm on salary. But paid by the minute. We almost never work our full 152 hours per 4 week cycle, usually 130-140 hours. We do anywhere from 4-11 hour shifts. We are rostered for service calls, if any adjustments are made to our shift, the entire shift will be paid overtime @ 1.7 (and not counted towards monthly cycle) if we go over our 152 hours we are paid overtime rate by the minute. And if we reach 11 hours on a shift we are not allowed to do any work or drive any vehicles, we have to call a taxi or get another crew to take us home.

Excuse me, but "full time" is 120 hours in 4 weeks. What's this 130-140 bullshit, let alone 152?

You're getting screwed even in what you intended to be an example of a better workplace!

Edit: I can't math gud.

40 hours per week, the standard of "full time" in most places, equates to 160 hours per four weeks. 152 hours is the equivalent of a 38 hour week...

You seem salty. What do you do for work? Do you love it? How much do you make?

yeah we were on salary and if you went over 40 in a week then you went over. I ended up leaving for a job that pays about 15% more, has unlimited PTO, full WFH when this job was hybrid and I haven't put in more than about 35 hours in a week since then
