Ed2win2 Neutral Newbie April 8, 2008 Share April 8, 2008 There are 2 jobs to choose: 1. Higher monthly salary, need to frequently work OT (without additional OT pay), sometimes till very late at night. 2. Lower monthly salary, rarely OT If choose 1, usually go home very late. Higher salary If choose 2, go home on the dot. Lower salary but if you divide your monthly pay over the hours work, it will be higher than choice 1. Given that other conditions are the same, which would you choose? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemz Clutched April 8, 2008 Share April 8, 2008 provided the salary is high enough to justify the amount of OT, i'd go with the notion of high salary high ot. i'd rather be maximising output than having surplus energy with no chance of earning extra income.

Scoots 3rd Gear April 8, 2008 Share April 8, 2008 There are 2 jobs to choose: 1. Higher monthly salary, need to frequently work OT (without additional OT pay), sometimes till very late at night. 2. Lower monthly salary, rarely OT If choose 1, usually go home very late. Higher salary If choose 2, go home on the dot. Lower salary but if you divide your monthly pay over the hours work, it will be higher than choice 1. Given that other conditions are the same, which would you choose? To really assess properly, will need to know more info. 1. How lower is low, how high is high? (salary) 2. How much of OT are we looking at. Only that way can a person assess 1.Is the low salary enough 2. Does the higher frequency of OT results in a similar/lower hourly rate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
