[QUOTE="LongTimeComing, post: 1080053, member: 45493"] [FONT=Verdana][/FONT] Not...exactly... It's screwed up how we kind of get screwed. Let me demonstrate: We are 'guaranteed' 27.5 a week. That is, what they call, a SALARY. This number is budgeted into the company's expense as a constant. But where the problem lies, is that it only looks at the week as a whole, not each day.
