Reaction Poll: Hourly vs. Salary pay?
I was talking to a friend of mine that has been in retail her entire career. We were trading plus and minuses of having a desk/salary job vs. being an hourly worker. She told me she loves the pace, she loves the hours, and the flexibility. She "jokingly" also told me she gets paid overtime while I don't, even if I work past what a regular working week is for me. She says I get paid a salary to work until the work is done, while she clocks in and out when her shift is done. That got me thinking, what do people prefer?
💖 Hourly, I get paid overtime, more pay when I work holidays, and flexible schedules
💯 Salary, steadier paychecks, no overtime pay but I get health insurance and time off
👏🏽 Hourly, with benefits like healthcare

The salary vs hourly depends on the type of operations and state. For me salary gave me more flexibility, for instance personal appt, there is no deduction in pay. Whatever works best for you.
Salary..if you work less hours than scheduled same salary
I really love having overtime and holiday pay! Makes a huge difference sometimes.
In 90 days less, you will be working hard or working somewhere else.
And overtime
You had already been rejected/judged before the question was asked
Some companies are offering salary benefits to hourly employees, best of both worlds for some people.
I'm salary now and I love it!
Hourly. If any boss wants to pay me salaried and expect me to work beyond the 40 hours I'm salaried for they're off hteir fucking rocker.
Then again I'm not really willing to do very much overtime even if I'm hourly. Work Life Balance is critically important for me and I'm not about to tell my family their time with me is less important than some fucking menial bullshit for a corporate overlord that doesn't give a damn about me.
also depends on the company and state you work in
