I've been meaning to ask, how do your work hours work? I mean currently full-time work week means 37 hours over here (people in the private sector sometimes work more, but 37 is the official number). We have flex-time, so we stamp in and out and any excess time is calculated. Like, I currently have around 18+ hours on my flex-time when I clock out. I can't get this time paid in cash (I work in the public sector, private sector might be different), but I can use it to take time off from work. Taine once got overtime paid in cash because he was required to come in for work on a Saturday (it was something IT related that needed to be done before everyone else came back Monday). Since it was a requirement, he could get cash for his efforts. Otherwise you don't get paid overtime in the public sector.
So how's the American one on this? Do you get paid according to your results or do you get a set wage?
