I once moved from an hourly role to a salaried position and struggled to compare total compensation, especially with overtime no longer on the table. It made me rethink what number actually made sense. Has anyone negotiated salary during a shift from hourly to salaried work?

Hello

I had a coworker that was moved from hourly to salary and was told it was the only way to compensate her for the nearly lateral move. She has regretted it every single time the rest of us are able to get OT, She ended up losing at least $14k a year.
You should always run your figures and determine what you need & what you need extra.

I also made a similar transition and the lack of overtime really ate up a lot of my income. I didn't realize how much I was relying on that extra money from OT. I think a salaried role should accommodate for the time you'll inevitably be working outside of your 40 hours, otherwise each additional hour is basically an hourly pay cut.

I haven't, but those are all things to consider. I remember when I went from hourly to salaried, I ended up making less because I could no longer get paid for OT. You should definitely ask for a raise.

I always try to warn people being wary for moving from hourly to salary. They’re moving you to salary because they know they can save money on you there. They get to make it look like you’re making more money but in reality with overtime you’re making less than you would have your if you remained hourly.
