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 hit my one year at my company on the 15th of November. I had lunch with my boss on the 10th and he mentioned a raise but not how much or when it would be effective.

Flash forward to now, we’ve had 2 paychecks since then and I haven’t received anything. He said last week he would let me know this week, but I’m getting frustrated.

He’s raising my billing rate effective Jan. 1, and I’m worried I won’t get my raise until then. Anyone have something similar happen?
