If I work seasonal in a big 4 as a tax senior and get overtime then can I claim the new overtime deduction on my tax return?

What are you basing that on?

If you are a Senior in Big 4, even if a seasonal, I’m 99% sure you’re an exempt employee.

smart

Are you a w2 employee or a contractor?

Then look up the rules and see if you qualify. I would assume you don’t

You qualify to claim the amount of premium you are required to be paid under the FLSA — regardless of what your employer decides to pay you or what state law says.
You would need to determine whether you are actually required to receive overtime pay per the applicable statute. You should be able to read the law.

I had 2 seasonal jobs last year. One in the winter and other in summer. One employer put OT on W2 and the other did not. For the one that did not I will use OT on pay stub and calculate. Most CPA firms I worked in past did not pay seasonal employees OT but where I worked last year they did.

The confusion lies in whether you are exempt or non-exempt. Not all hourly employees are non-exempt.

I get paid time and half.

Hi guys,
Need some clarifications about offer letter acceptance. What if you accept offer but at last did not join because you got another offer at last moment.? Do companies take any action on this ?

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?

Absolutely. Businesses can be ethical by treating people the way they’d want to be treated. 3 ways Airbnb can do this: Aggressively fight fraudulent listers, let Airbnb members control their data (allow data requests/permissioning/deletion from any state or country), and oh - make it easy for people to get their money back if their travel was affected by covid-19. How not to be ethical: marketing ethics vs living them.

I have an offer in hand from MakeMyTrip 20 L fixed + 2L joining bonus. I have a verbal offer from ola electric 20L fixed + 2L joining bonus + 2L variable pay. Ninjacart is yet to make me an offer and they asked me for the offer letter in hand. I'm waiting for ola's offer letter so that ninjacart will make an offer on top of that. But ola is willingly not sending me the offer letter soon. I plan to join MMT finally by making them match the highest offer. How to leverage this situation better?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.
