I recently came across this LS salary report from Biospace. Wanted to see what the group thinks, in terms of its accuracy. Specifically, I'm wondering at the AD/D levels. Also, should different AD/D roles within a company expect different salary bands? For instance, would a d in marketing expect a wildly different salary than a d in ops?

How is the Variable payout in HCL?. They have offered me 15% Variable, which has 10% performance bonus to be paid annually and 5% engagement bonus to be paid monthly. As per HR there will not be any deduction in engagement bonus if I am in the billable role. Please tell if it is true. Also how much can I expect in performance bonus part of 10%?

Does anyone work for Lyft as an EA?
I think the EA role in general is hourly as a labor law. It’s an OT eligible role
I'm hourly and actually prefer it over salary solely because I am allowed overtime. I don't work for free 🤷♀️
Also, in the US, hourly vs salary is job duty dependant, so you might not be able to negotiate that. I would, however, make sure you get overtime at a bare minimum.
Oof. That is a game changer. Most times we need the overtime to get our jobs done, but at least you have the policy to back you up for not doing late days or being available after hours.
Every role I’ve held with larger companies has been hourly by technicality but classified as salary non exempt which means I am paid a salary but I can still claim overtime. I wouldn’t worry about this too much in our job we works tons of extra hours and being able to claim overtime is a blessing
I say negotiate EVERYTHING.
Everything.
Definitely!
Hourly also means if you have to travel for work, you get paid for every hour your traveling which adds up to tons overtime for long flight trips. The hourly classification is a blessing in my opinion not a curse.
I wish travel time was apart of my situation.
Don’t not answer any calls after you clock out! I used to be hourly and I simply would walk out after clocking out even if the phone was ringing. I am salary now but I do get paid OT on busy season. I like being paid salary.
I'm an hourly as well. At first I was not happy about it but it is turning out to be better for me in the long run.
When I was hired, it was journey and has been hourly for years. I was told that is the structure of the position and can’t be changed. If someone asks for food something overtime, I just let my manager know
*and work , not food
I think I’m just frustrated with my current employer because they don’t allow overtime. I can see the benefit of hourly if overtime is a possibility, especially those times working longer is needed.
So do you work overtime and just not get paid for it? If so, you could make the argument that your state law supports you to be classified as an hourly employee (if it does). For example, in maryland the reason many admins are non exempt is because unless their “primary duty is the performance of office or non-manual work directly related to the management or general business operations of the employer, and whose primary duty includes the exercise of discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance” they cannot be classified as exempt. I’ve asked for clarification on what this “matters of significance” applies too but have not received a response from the state. However, my former company’s HR stated this meant significant financial decisions which in larger corps admins are generally not responsible for and there is an approval structure setup which requires these to go up the ladder for approval. If your company is also setup like this and your state also has a law like this, you could use this as your argument.
Omg yes and same exact struggles. And I work for an officer of the company so according to the laws here I can be exempt, just no one wants to change it. It’s one of those battles I don’t have the energy for, especially when I won’t be here much longer.
I’m hourly non exempt. I request comp time vs overtime bc I’d rather get off early and my boss is fine with that. I would not be working later otherwise. It can wait until the next day!
