Corruption with wages.

[Milzy]

If you worked at an engineering firm and they started paying double time to work Saturdays you’d be happy. However on the wage slips they are paying so much at 1.5 and so much at 2.0. It’s supposed to add up to what they owe you. The question is why work it out in this way? What are they trying to hide?

Seems pretty standard to me.

Saturday 4 hours x1.5 and 4 hours x2.

Sunday double bubble all day.

Lovely

Seems simple to me. Either they are paying double or they are not. A few hours at 1.5 then a few at 2.0 is not double time, unless they are giving you extra hours to make up the difference?

Are they paying an 8 hour day but you only work 6?

So standard fare is 14 hours on Saturday and 16 for a Sunday shift.

If they are giving you 16 for both, I reckon you are just getting a deal.

Just maybe they are not trying to hide anything?, it may just be a "quirk" of their payroll system?

 

[richardfm]

Have you asked them to explain?

 

[alicat]

Dunno, why not ask them?

My first thought too

I fondly recall when the dibble stopped paying double time for overtime...and then were somehow surprised when everyone stopped doing overtime on rest days etc. I myself ceased doing any at that point - who wants to got to work and be abused or assaulted on a rest day for anything less?

As a consequence large events or operations required re rostering bobbies to provide cover, thus depriving front line teams of officers for normal daily business.

Well done Mr Winsor.

Engineering firm not involved in dastardly tax evasion conspiracy shock horror!

In today's restricted employment climate many would be grateful to work for someone who still paid those rates. Perhaps in this internet age it's too easy to attribute to malice the results of incompetence or just a peculiarity of the system.

If my pipes make noises I take windsettlers and it stops!

I did wonder about the use of the word 'corruption' in the title? A bit strong for what is on the face of it a misunderstanding, or maybe over-complicated accounting at play?
