Shift worker - 0700 - 1900 for 2 days then 1900 - 0700 for 2 nights then 4 days off. (I have so much leave owing it’s not funny…)
Wouldn’t go back to a normal 5 day week unless you tripled my salary…

I work 7:00 to 4:30 every day. I could do more, but I’m salaried and we don’t get overtime pay, so I do the bare minimum of overtime. The technicians I work with don’t get overtime either, and they have to be on CALL nights and weekends. It sucks.
I’m not working at the moment, as I’m at uni. Last summer though I was working 9 while 5 and left on time. I have better things to do then stay at work.
I only work part time and hourly, so yes, I leave on time or make it up. My husband works 7:30 - 4, and skips lunch to work out. Works over maybe twice a year. We’re not saving lives; there’s almost nothing we do that can’t wait until the next day.
I’m a part-timer at Wal-Mart. Bleh.
I’m still in college, shut up! It’s about the best a kid can do around as far as a part-time job goes.
They usually schedule people in 7, 8, or 9-hour shifts, and you get an hour break sometime in there. When school is out in a week or so, I will probably be working 2-10 or 3-10 on most days. Mondays I will have a night class so it’ll probably be like 10-6 on that day. And you NEVER get out on time. Usually you get off about 15 minutes after you’re scheduled to leave, which isn’t terribly bad but it can be annoying.
I also work at a vet clinic Thursday afternoon and Saturday and Sunday morning. I plan on having absolutely no life this summer. I’m just gonna work every day and hoard money so hopefully I can accumulate enough money to put my sorry butt through college another year.
7:30 to 4:15 with 45 minutes for lunch, 5 days a week. Overtime is time and a half and any overtime past 8 hours a week is double time. The Union has it’s benefits.
The world might not end, but my job sure as hell would—the articles have to ship that night, which means we all have to sign off on them before the production manager calls FedEx.
Besides, I may resent the hell out of their unprofessionalism, but as long as they’re paying me, I’m going to do my job right
I just jave to work 37.5 hours a week (for those bad at math, that’s 7.5 hours a day.) Add a half hour lunch, and that’s exactyl eight hours. I go 8:30-4:30. Back when I had an hour commute, I usually went 9-5 so I could sleep a little later. But now I have a two minute commute, so getting here at 8:30 is no problem.
I’m actually thinking about starting to work a hour or two more each day so I can take a half day on Fridays. The only problem with that is that I work in a hospital, but not for the hospital, and while they technically have no say in my hours, they bitch and moan if I am not here when they want me here (but if I had it there way, I would probably work twelve hour days.) So I’d have to run it by a few key staff here first, and even if they say yes, some other staff mguiht get upset, so I still might not be able to do it.
I sometimes have to work overtime, if there is an emergency on a Friday and I have to stay late. Friday is the only day it’s a problem, since if it occurs any other day I will just leave early by that amount on Friday (my company wants us to avoid overtime as much as possible.)
I normally leave on time, except during busy season (Feb-March and then a week in May, August and Nov.), which normally is midnight. However, I’m training for a new position (finally) and get to leave at 4 pm.
Actually, I like when I get to stay longer because it means overtime. And I get a good overtime pay.
Depends. I don’t really have a schedule, the general guidence is be in before 9:30, leave after 3:00, put in 40 hours in a week. I’m on call 24/7 though, and when things break around here, they break badly.
9-5:30 on days when I’m not the receptionist, 8:30-5:30 on days when I am. (Because my company will never replace the receptionist, and I’m a glutton for punishment.)
Most days, I’m out the door like my ass is on fire at approximately 5:26. If they’re not going to pay for a new receptionist, they sure as hell aren’t going to want to pay me overtime.
90% of the time I work 7:15 AM to 3:45 PM. (8 hours plus 1/2 hour lunch) The other 10% something client related keeps me later, usually still before 5 PM, but sometimes as late at 10PM.
I’m a manager on salary so I don’t get any extra money for it, but I do get to leave early for doctor appointments or needed errands without loosing pay. (Like next week when I’m cutting out before noon on Thursday to catch the matinee of Revenge of the Sith when there’s no line at the theater!)
8:30 to 5:30 with a one-hour lunch. I am SUPPOSED to be paid for any overtime but the departmental policy is “well, we’ll comp it out some other way.” :rolleyes: Very rarely am I unable to “blow the popstand” at quittin’ time.
On very rare occasions I have to stay an extra 30-45 minutes, but for the last 4 1/2 years I’ve been strictly 8:30 -5:00. But I’ve earned it - before that I spent 20 years working in restaurants.
Our office hours are 8:00 - 4:30.
I’ve been here for nearly 3 years and I’ve never once gotten here after 7:30 or left before 5:30. Last night, for instance, I was at a meeting 'til 9:00 p.m. My latest Commission meeting has been 'til 1:30 a.m., but that was OK with me as I had bet the other staff that we’d be there 'til 1:30 and I won a free night of beers because of my foresight.
I’m also in the position of getting Comp Time for any time worked outside normal business hours, so I’ve got about a month of leave coming.
I work from 9:30 to 5:30 with a one hour paid lunch come hell or high water. On the occasions when the firm requests I put in overtime, it is a) purely and totally voluntary (without the usual taint of coercion that usually surrounds the “Can you work over tonight?”) and b) I am compensated with overtime pay and the price of a dial-car voucher to Penn Station (which basically = 20 bucks) as well as a meal voucher redeemable at any local eating establishment (another 20 bucks).
There’s not much of the overtime though - the firm maintains a 24-hour staff, so if something is going on that NEEDS to be finished on a tight deadline, another staff member can take over where I left off without any terrible trouble. Generally speaking I’m hitting the revolving door at 5:20 every day (as I work through my 10-minute breaks and have a more-convenient train to catch).
Of course, if you WANT to work the overtime, the firm will cheerfully pony up if you volunteer for extra time, provided you know your job. They’d prefer to pay someone to do it right the first time as overtime - after all, my time is almost always billable to the client.
I’m strictly 9 to 5 too, but mostly because there just isn’t enough work to fill those 8 hours (well 7 hours once lunch is taken out!) let alone overtime. Very rarely I’ll be working on a project that needs to get done RIGHT AWAY, but usually if it’s not ready for the mail/UPS/Fed Ex/whatever the other one is by 4:30 or 5, then it’s too late and we might as well all just go home and finish it the next day.
Usually the only reason I’m here late is if I’m reading a particularly interesting thread here at SDMB!!
Guilty, I pretend to be a field Geologist.
