^ I would agree there but I have been working a steady 50-55 hour week these past 3 weeks. I'm freaking tired! I'm looking forward to retirement.

Yeah I do like 50-60 hours every week with no overtime pay. Salary is nice when I can't make it in or leave early though. That's very rare though.

ouch guys.... im applying for some paralegal jobs for next summer and they pay salary plus overtime (time n half for 40-50 hours and double for 50+). And since its a litigation or a corporate paralegal position the horus will be enormous. I don't know if that makes me happy or sad haha. all i know is mods will be flowing in daily

Salary + OT pay for me here. And the best part about it is that when we go out and do jobs on OT... sometimes we'll work for literally 15 to 30 min and we still get paid a minimum of 4 hours OT.

The bosses are usually cool with the OT since they price out a job for about 20% - 30% more than what it will take. So at times we'll work 8 hours OT and they'll pay us 10 - 12 hours of OT... hehe.
