[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3870418, member: 60252"] Of course, if you are paying $8 an hour, even with bonuses and OT like your example, you are paying barely $10 an hour overall. And in your example, you should calculate the pay based on what they would earn in 40 hours, not 45. And if load time is above and beyond the 40 hours, you need to pay OT for that. If loading takes an hour, you would need to pay $12. Separating it out makes little sense. Add in the time spent loading if not included in the 8 hours per day, and you need to pay another $60 a week if you are paying a bonus. And why not just pay $9.25 an hour if they are required to load anyway??? Making it part of a bonus complicates things and if it is a required part of the job, you would need to pay them the normal rate, and if you are paying a bonus, it would be ON TOP of the hourly rate, and change the hourly OT rate. Combining bonuses with what the employee is doing in a normal 8 hour day unnecessarily complicates things. Maybe to get more out of people who you expect to work OT, pay 1 3/4 instead of 1 1/2 the normal hourly rate for OT. You can pay more for OT tan time and a half, but not less. If someone can finish faster than 8 hours, pay them for a full 8 hours. If they can't complete a regular 8 hour job in 8 hours, cut their hourly rate. [/QUOTE]
