Overtime hours 44 or 60?

I would hope that all the replies to this query begin with: " Well, according to the labor code in my province/state ............... "

 

Most full time or year round construction firms pay over time at 44 hours. I know the large garbage hauling companies pay OT after 40 with local pick up after 9 hours daily. It depends how you want to treat your drivers. The OTR mill companies don't pay until after 60 but they also have a revolving door, even for local pick up.

 

most over the road companies don't pay overtime, period, OTR, by the mile or %

 

I am a local hauler in the waste management sector and I get paid overtime after 8hrs/day... My overtime is not based on a week so if I don't come in one day big deal it doesn't count toward my overtimes.. Plus it would be a sick paid day anyhow.. Now I am in the Public Sector so this contributes to my lucky overtime pay and sick time... When I was in the Private Sector my overtime pay was based on 44hrs so I would need to get 44hrs as fast as I could to get the overtime pay.. Not that it was hard because I was paid daily (I was hourly and went down to the U.S on 2 day 1 night runs twice a week then 5th day was local or U.S day trips) so it wasn't hard for me to get my 44... If I got paid overtime at 60hrs/week I would not be happy thats a lot of hours for now much compensation...
