Have any freelancers been asked to work weekends for RGA and dealt with the “discretionary bonus” structure rather than just receive their regular day rate? Please advise.

A bit more context, could be helpful.

I’ve heard of this but the project didn’t pan out so it never came to pass. If i’d worked 40 hours during the week, the weekend was supposed to be the # of hours I worked at 1.5x my rate but it wasn’t clear to me when exactly it would be paid… and I didn’t like it also because I typically charge day rates and didn’t think it was clear if I’d be compensated for waiting-around time when I couldn’t go out and do other stuff. In general it just sounded weird.

For some clarity, we were told we had nothing to worry about and we’d be paid a comparable rate to what we were already making for the hours we worked. We never would have said yes if they asked us to work and our compensation was not guaranteed and at the discretion of others at the end of the month.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
