| Oct 12, 2018 at 20:32 | comment | added | Andy | In my situation, my boss is keeping me hourly because she can and wants me to be paid for the overtime I have no choice but to put in. It's costly to the company but the benefit to them is that I get my work done and am rarely disgruntled over it. | |

| Oct 10, 2018 at 12:21 | comment | added | sleske | Hi, welcome to workplace.SE. Unfortunately, your question is a bit unclear right now. You complain that you don't want to be houry, but you don't explain why. What is the problem with being hourly? And what is your ultimate goal (after all, hourly/exempt is only a formal thing)? Better work conditions? Better pay? Please edit to clarify. | |

| Oct 10, 2018 at 8:39 | comment | added | Dirk | I would be less concerned about the hourly rate and more about the toxic environment and behavior of your superiors... Is there any chance that they might want to get rid of you/did you consider leaving? | |
| Oct 9, 2018 at 22:14 | comment | added | Neuromancer | @RowdyFamer why would you have to take your break exactly at set times unless you are on a production line? I did not do that when I was hourly paid nor did I see my hourly paid colleges do that when I worked for British Telecom | |
| Oct 9, 2018 at 21:11 | comment | added | Rowdy Famer | honestly I could deal with the hourly if I just got some clarity on why they chose me knowing I don't qualify or even what they classify my job as.I asked the CFO in a meeting to put my new pay rate into an email for writen confirmation and he said "NO, Im not gonna do that. Just listen to my formula and thats all you should be concerned with." | |

| Oct 9, 2018 at 20:33 | comment | added | JazzmanJim | My wife had this happen in her medical field. Job description was changed to non-exempt (hourly). The expectation was she (and others) would clock out after 40 hours but continue to work. After claims were filed with the state (Missouri) these employees were given back pay for the the overtime worked but not earned (this was a very nice check). The positions were quickly changed back to exempt but they forced out these employees (which was legal). | |

| Oct 9, 2018 at 18:38 | comment | added | Ask About Monica | I agree; moving to hourly rate is an imposition of a significant psychological burden. I wouldn't be surprised if forced break and lunch times cause a loss of an hour of productive time each day, at least for certain types of jobs. | |
| Oct 9, 2018 at 17:58 | comment | added | Rowdy Famer | the increase in pay is not enough for my sanity. if in the middle of illustrator file I don't want to clock out for smoke break 2x day, I don't smoke. Or lunch at noon cause I've a deadline at 3 or come int2 the office on press days clock in leave to opposite direction in traffic to make a 9:00 press check. leave press at 10 drive back for 15 mins to clock out. back to press repeat at noon and 2:30. then back to the office by 5 clock out make sure don't hit overtime. before I was able to leave my house and make it to press then come to the office after everything is approved. | |
| Oct 9, 2018 at 17:34 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | Is there a reason that you are concerned by this? Seems likely the numbers will work out in your favor. | |
