Salaried employees working overtime, Welcome

Do you have an accountant?? Who is charge of Payroll.

Overtime is the amount of time someone works beyond normal working hours.
Normal hours may be determined in several ways:

• by custom (what is considered healthy or reasonable by society),
• by practices of a given trade or profession,
• by legislation,
• by agreement between employers and workers or their representatives.

*Overtime pay rates can cause workers to work longer hours than they
would at a flat hourly rate.*

Be careful, LUCKIEST

I've seen a number of articles that emphasize that today's young workers are not motivated as much by money and climbing the corporate ladder as their parents were. So you need to ask yourself. Do you have an unmotivated worker; or do you have a worker that is not motivated by the same things that motivate you?

I suggest you consider new ideas. You mentioned you work in the creative field. Could you let this worker have more creative control over their work? A lot of young people look for jobs where they fee that their contribution is important and valued. What about a flexible schedule? Relaxed work rules and/or dress code? Lastly, why not just ask?

We've all read stories about kids working at the high-tech startup putting in 20 hour days fueled by nothing but pizza and beer. That shows that being young does not automatically equal being lazy or unmotivated. Before giving up on this worker, try some different things. You might be pleasantly surpised.
