Whew.
Another extra long day. I’ve now got 9h 15m of overtime so far this week, which means after 3:45 tomorrow after noon everything I work the rest of this week will be paid at time and a half. The only problem is that our payroll is structured so that it skips a pay period before OT is actually paid. Oh, and today was the last day of our current pay period…which means I’ll get paid for the hours I worked, but since I haven’t hit 40 hours yet (only 33:15), I won’t actually get paid the time and a half until DECEMBER.
(It works like this, for both of you who care. We get paid for our 1st to 15th work on the 22nd of the month, and for our 15-31 work on the 7th of the next month. This means the regular hours that I worked for October 15-31 will be paid to me on November 7. However, because OT won’t begin to accumulate until November 1 (when I finally hit 40 hours for the week), the OT amount will not be included on the November 7th paycheck. It’ll be part of the pay period from November 1-15. Then, the OT is held for one more pay period (since payroll has to adjust for all the overtime worked between Nov 1 and 15th, and not just what I did on Nov 1-2), so I’ll get the time and a half paid for the November 15-30 pay period…which is paid out on December 7.)
I say yet again…Oh for fun.
BTW, NaNoWriMo begins in an hour and a half. I won’t be up waiting for it. The good news is that OT should be over tomorrow, assuming we don’t get slammed in the morning (but even if we do, we have to have all our October work finished by noon, and November work can be held until later if need be). As a result, I ought to be able to do NaNoWriMo this year.
We shall see. For now…it’s bed time.
