When doing Contract work/ Site intergration testing, I am entitled to 84 hours weekly pay, on a 12 hour a day rate- The oil industry moving as it does i only work 36 hours approx, most of it is meeting with clients and waiting for the packet I am assigned to, to be called upon. Offshore or overseas I have the same entitlements, with the exception of a hundred dollar daily bonus. If the packet I am on is waiting for other packets to actualize (whether it be a day or two weeks my day rate is the same and am still paid) my day contract rate remains. Travel time is included, if it takes a day of boarding planes I receive that exact same rate, with expenses, car rentals and accommodations paid for by the client. The second I step out of my door I am earning money, and it usually feels like a paid vacation with abundant time to sight see and have a tourist face.
Overtime is good. The end.
