Re: [Consult400] Salary and paid overtime

[Mark Allen <allenmar@xxxxxxxxx>]

In over 20 years in this business, with 10+ as a
consultant I have been paid overtime twice (once as a
contractor when I got paid for each hr worked, work 30
get paid for 30, work 60 get paid for 60, and once
when I worked for a national consulting firm got paid
straight time for any "billables" over 40 with clients
consent (comany charged them 1 1/2, I got paid 1x).

Never saw it as an issue, it "was my job mon", as Bob
Marley would say
