question about pay

apparently the salary has gone up to 30k a year from 28k. i have had my 3 interviews and expect to be hired shortly after the background check.

Is it really salary, or is it like an hourly rate? How does it work, and how does it show up in your paycheck?

i know there is going to be overtime. So is it like 12.00 an hour for 80 hours, then like around 15 hours @ 18.00 an hour (the overtime rate).

because they HAVE to pay you an overtime rate if its over 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week. am i wrong?

by the way ill be starting in winnipeg. but there is no winnipeg thread.

any help appreciated.

Here is the best help I can give you. The way I see it you have two options:

1. Decline the job at all costs. Go to any other retail store and get same pay/experience and have time to enojoy life.

2. Accept the job. Scrounge up all the money you have, go buy a gun and turn it on yourself. Either way you are saving yourself.

If you accept the job, and don't follow through with gun buying part, keep this note. I want you to look at it after the 1st 6 months anbd realize what a stranger was doing out of the kindness of their heart.

that doesnt exactly answer my question. im not scared of the job.

It is an hourly wage. They throw you off by saying it is a salary job. They estimate that you will work a 50 hour work week, and tell you that 30K is what you'll make. I haven't been a MT for a long time, so I can't help with hourly wage part. Seriously, if you have another job option..utilize it.

Bullshit!!! "I haven't been a MT for a long time..." Even if you were EVER a MT you would know. You work @ admin and have no idea what you are talking about.
You work 50 hours/week. In Ontario you receive overtime when you work more than 44 hours/week. Just do the math, once each group has their own pay structure.
Don't be afraid.

Except when you have stat holidays, then even if you work overtime, admin cancels it out and then you have a paycheck with 110 hrs and $800 to take home.

You can get Assisstant manager positions at mall that pay more and 'experience' is better as everyone knows that you are not doing anything managerial in the business world. They all know that u are just washing cars and they don't have many car preps to begin with.

I was an MT with high numbers in a busy branch which was always short staffed due to my BM's immature managerial style.

We had ppl leaving us all the time. I was just a driver and 4/10 customers would ask me If I had finished school?

BTW, BMs dont make 75K as they tell u in training!

That's because he doesn't. (I hope you are being sarcastic) Peter Mansbridge makes $400K/year and the average CEO salary (including bonuses and stock options) is $1.3 million/year. You really think Parker is in that league? Keep drinking the Kool Aid you moron.

okay Mr. I-Know-Everything, answer me this then:

Why would a company that's great to work for like Enterprise need to lie about how much one of their top guys makes? It's not like the lower-level employees need any additional motivation.

That's because Enterprise is NOT a great place to work thus they need to lie about how much their top guys make. BOOM!

What's C2's average OP for the year? $20? that's about $360K per year (based on 7500 cars and an incredibly generous 20%) in commissions. Not chump change by any stretch but unless he has $1M base salary (not even close) he does not make $1.3M per year.

Once upon a time, when C2 ran a huge profit (Matt Daragh era) then yes, the top guys could approach the 7 figure plateu. But that was pre 911 when insurance companies were shelling out money like it grew on trees and the used car market was booming at a 15 year high. Now, the used car market is mediocre at best and Insurance companies are tight with their wallets - not to mention the huge spike in unfiled claims to avoid increased premiums.
