hii guys

i heard on the internet of a pharmacist (pharm.d) who said that he is working for walmart as a staff pharmacist 54 hrs per week that's 9 hrs a day 6 days a week but he said that he was the most attractive applicant because he signed some kind of waiver in which he agreed to do overtime on Saturdays for the same hourly money as workdays (53$) could that be really the case i mean i'm still a student and i don't think it's possible for someone no matter what his profession is to manipulate his working schedule like this what do you guys think is it possible?

calculate it and you will find out that if u can get yourself such a deal (i will happily accept such a deal) you will be making something around 140000 a year!!

Many places are not paying you extra for overtime PERIOD...

Overtime on monday is the same as overtime on tuesday which is the same as overtime on sunday.

overtime pay is generally a state law type of thing. In NY it's overtime pay for anything over 40 hours/week

If you sign on as a pharmacist who fills in for others at stores, I was on the schedule for 5 days a week, 14 hour shifts with no lunch. And then they would try to call me on my days off as well.

If you are a salaried workers, overtime does not always mean time and a half. In my state, pharmacists on salary get their wage plus $3-4 an hour for overtime.

Depending on the state, you may or may not be able to waive OT as a non-exempt employee.

Would you mind sharing the link to apply for this position at Walmart?🙂

The following are examples of employees exempt from both the minimum wage and overtime pay requirements:

Executive, administrative, and professional employees (including teachers and academic administrative personnel in elementary and secondary schools), outside sales employees, and certain skilled computer professionals (as defined in the Department of Labor's regulations) 1

What about the laws preventing people from giving up a lunch break or any breaks at all during a 14 hour shift?

Not for exempt employees (like pharmacists)

What about the laws preventing people from giving up a lunch break or any breaks at all during a 14 hour shift?

Even if you are supposed to take a lunch break, you will likely be told to figure out how to make that happen yourself. Your corporation may not offer any assistance in doing so. Thus it does not happen.

140k a year? I make that as my base. If I do 54 hours a week, I hit 180k easily. yawn.

Aren't you in NYC though? We all think of how much more expensive everything is, and we expect an increase in pay there.

As an FYI for regulations specific to California, as of 1/1/2000 pharmacists outside of administrative/executive capacity are classified as non-exempt employees and therefore subject to OT that cannot be waived.

Though you are correct in that, per federal regulations, pharmacists qualify as learned professionals and therefore can be classified as exempt.

This is state specific. No one should be posting anything without referencing relevant state statutes/regulations.

Exactly, 140k in NYC has no where near the buying power compared to the 120k I make as a clinical pharmacist in a major metro city hospital on the west coast when you factor in cost of living.

Remind us again how California residencies get around this?

You clock in, you clock out, you get paid accordingly.

Now don't go running up the OT, get the hell out of here when you hit 40 for the week
