[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1136486, member: 43119"] Has anyone else read anything that supports the "facts" stated by the OP? I'm a part time employee, working preload. I've had my insurance since last August, but have only used vision so far, on one occasion. What he's saying regarding medical co-pay does concern me... but what interests me right this moment is the part about driver helper overtime. People in my building tend to have an opportunity at being coverage drivers ~2 years in. If I do [U]not[/U] start driving this peak, I intend on helping just as I've done the past two peaks. Here, driver helper overtime starts after 8 hours total worked that day (up to 5 hours counted from preload). Example: if I work 4.5 hours in preload, the first 3.5 helper hours are regular pay, everything after is overtime at the 8.50 rate. If I work 6 hours in preload (extended peak hours), only the first 5 apply towards the "over 8 hours" thing. So, the first three helper hours will still be at 8.50, then overtime after. That's how it works here, and I know this for sure, because I calculate my hours and rates every peak, and my numbers always add up. I do this to make sure I'm paid correctly. Anyway, does this mean that next peak I will no longer be able to work overtime as a helper? If I don't drive, I'm seriously counting on this for "extra" income (more like NEEDED income), so this is a pretty big deal to me. It's not uncommon for me to work 14-17 hour days at least a few times during peak, and bring in weekly paychecks of $400-650, rather than the usual $190-210. Where can I read about these changes?
