I work in a tourist town and peak season is heading my way rapidly. The first cruise ship docks in my town tomorrow. This season brings a huge spike in workload, but never in compensation. It really feels like a grind, and I wish the employers here would offer a peak season bonus of some kind. Do any of you get some kind of compensation like this during abnormally busy times?

Honestly, I feel this. Peak season = way more work but same pay never feels fair. Wish more places recognized the workload increase during tourist season, it’s definitely not “business as usual” for staff.

To play devil’s advocate….Based on this thought process, can your employer pay you less during off/slow season?
