[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1286470, member: 42270"] OT after 5 hours for PT'ers varies by supplement. In my area, it's OT after 5 and it doesn't matter if it's voluntary/involuntary. Transferring to a new hub because of the potential to work doubles sounds like a [U][B]terrible[/B][/U] idea if you have any seniority at all, as your seniority will be end tailed if you're even allowed a non-educational transfer. Most of the time, this happens in large hubs that simply cannot seem to retain new hires (surprise, surprise: most people don't want to be screamed at and worked like a dog for $8.50/hr) or in smaller centers that can't justify/authorize additional employees on payroll. Either way, the potential for the work to dry up as soon as someone in senior management wants to cut OT costs is always there. When I was working on '06, I was turning down doubles nearly every day of the week. They dried up when the recession hit (we also had a new district manager that vowed to crack down on OT) during '07-'08 and then started trickling back since '10/'11 or so. Now they're working them almost year-round because retention is such an issue. [/QUOTE]
