Thread: No incentive to do overtime

This always cracks me up...

Even after paying that tax you have a lot more in your bank than if you didn't work.

Look at it this way. I'd rather be paying a million dollars a year in tax.

Well at least you get paid for working the weekend. I'm salaried so nothing extra for me if I'm needed on the weekend.

Thankfully it doesn't happen too often.

But, yes our current tax system does suck. Middle income earners shoulder the bulk of the tax burden while the super rich pay almost nothing...

Same here...

Salary; no Public holidays or loadings.
No additional for going in to work at night or weekends...

Yes as long as you do it working no more than 48 hours a week
More than 48 hours a week a "special tax" come in force that it is the quality of family life
It would be nice if the tax was related to the hours of work or productivity instead of just the gross earning.

Salary workers are compensated for no overtime/public holidays etc in their contracts.
Dont get me wrong,Im more than happy to do the overtime,it makes an average paying job a good paying job.This pay takes me to $70000 for the year with a fortnite to go.Not many shire workers earn this amount,rather do what I do than be an ant on a mine

It would be nice to only work 48 hours each week...

Sometimes a salary really sucks. Biggest week I had recently was the middle of last year, at the nasty end of a project. 104 hours, and not a cent extra.
