Walmart has a new initiative to switch every full time pharmacist to salary, even their floaters. I see no issue with having the pharmacy manager as salaried, but I feel like as a floater by switching me to salary they just get to avoid paying me time and a half when I work over 40 hours per week and not pay me for my drive time. Many stores I drive to are well over an hour and some 2 hours away.
In general, it seems like salary is just a way to get cheaper labor by not having to pay overtime and how can they expect a floater to drive 5 hours in 1 day on their own time when their shift is only 10 hours? Walmart's new choices even have salaried to as low as 24 hours per week. At Walmart when you're salary you get 3 more dollars an hour above 40, but if you pick up a 10 hour shift that's only an extra 30 dollars or 20 after taxes... Not worth it, in my opinion.
Too many companies are trying to bypass overtime laws, by making positions salaried when then clearly shouldn't be. Even for the staff RPHs, Walmart wants them to sign only 32 hr/week salary offers when they do this new roll out. By doing this they can schedule them for 40 hours when they need the coverage, but then drop them to 32 hours per week whenever they please. All these students talk about how much overtime they're going to do and pay loans fast when they don't understand how much the chains are trying to screw us over and I'm already rural as heck. A lot of the folks around here look like The Hills Have Eyes.
