After having worked for several companies and having worked hourly for all of them, it would seem like a relief to finally be on salary. There are several benefits but there are also some problems as well that I have noticed as I have started working with a salary position. Here are some things to look out for salary positions. You really need to compare your salary position to what it would be if it were hourly.
As the wind playfully nipped and tugged at the lapels of his jacket, he shivered. It was only October and yet a cold pocket of air had forced its way into his tiny suburb in northern Utah. David usually enjoyed walking home from work, and yet there was always one day during the fall months that signified it was time to start taking the car. Unfortunately, the recent rainfall and chilly breezes probably meant that the season of coats and runny noses was going to arrive sooner than usual.
No matter if you are with a company that has health benefits in Utah or whatever state, you will find that when you do the math it just doesn't add up.
The faint smile on David's face lingered and then faded as these happy memories dissolved away to make room for reality. He had stopped skiing a couple years after his two children had left home and enrolled in college. He always liked to tell his coworkers it just wasn't the same without his kids around, but the real reason had a lot more to do with the pain in his knees and back than anything else. David always knew he was going to get old someday, but it didn't make hanging up his ski poles for the last time any easier.
Sometimes they have more responsibilities but the pay doesn't exactly match that pay. Realize that you won't get overtime when you do stay after work like the rest of these salaried individuals.
Insurance companies have networks of doctors that accept the insurance coverage, which acceptance of insurance coverage will be absolutely paramount in importance for an individual who is looking for a new doctor.
Flexibility This can be a great thing for people who don't like being managed by the time clock. You have the option of leaving when you want as long as you are getting done what you need to by time reviews come around. That being said most companies are still pretty strict and expect the same from their salaried individuals as the hourly paid employees.
A part of him still wanted to argue about it as he opened his front door, but perhaps it was disinterest or fatigue that simply prompted him to just drop it. And so it was on that cold, gloomy day that David kissed his wife hello, and then told her they'd be going online to do some policy shopping after dinner. Not the most romantic gesture, he thought. But from the surprise and happiness he saw in her eyes, it was as if he had turned up with a bouquet of roses to ask her out to the prom all over again.
