Overtime Hours

Hi Everyone,

My IBD SA Contract says that I am paid for overtime hours at 1.5x but must get approval from the manager/staffer for working overtime and to log them into the system. I was wondering if anybody could explain how this works? Do you think they will try to limit my hours or encourage me to enter in fewer? For Investment Banking, of course I will work more than the 40 hour/week base. I am just wondering if anybody could speak to their experiences and what they contract says?

Thanks in advance.

 

I could have sworn that it was only 0.5x for incremental hours over 40 when I was a SA, but maybe I'm just forgetting. It's a pretty attractive deal if you do get the dollar for dollar 1.5x for each hour worked.

I think ultimately your mileage may vary, but I've seen folks enter in their hours and get paid the commensurate overtime for each hour worked. It might make sense to check in with the staffer on this just to confirm.

There's a closer meaning to my user name. Try reading it quickly. Perhaps you will then understand ;P
 

2 questions:

1) how important is the money to you? Do you really need the money? If your IBD at a BB then they are probably paying you well.

2) how important is your job to you? If you're planning on sticking around or turning it into FT, I'd say not worth risking a bad rec when you are worrying about a couple bucks. It's about the experience isn't it?

Could just be an HR mistake, but I personally wouldn't bring it up.

 

I interned at a BB last summer, and we were paid overtime based on the fluctuating work week method. Basically, the more hours we worked the lower the overtime rate was. I think it was calculated as pro rated salary/hours * 1.5 * overtime hours worked.

HR wanted us to leave by 10:00 PM on weekdays and we were discouraged from working weekends unless we got staffer approval. This seemed to be just an HR thing since we would work past 10 and on weekends fairly regularly. We just had to log hours online every week.
