Hello, I need some advice. I work in a small office. (I am a female). I was making $19/hour for the last year and I typically get 35-40 hours per week. My responsibilities have changed a lot over the year and I’m doing a lot of things that I can actually do at home, so when I asked for a raise in my review, my employers suggested putting me on salary, which would give me some flexibility to finish things at home if need be. (Keep in mind that I’m not working from home— I’m still going in to the office five days a week and if I don’t finish something at the office, I finish at home.) no new benefits. They started me at 37k and told me that it will basically be like a 40 hour work week every week for my pay. I wanted to be appreciative (and I am) but when I looked up what 37k amounts to per hour, it comes out to about 18.50 or just under 19 depending on which source I was looking at. Now, I don’t always work a full 40 hours each week, and I haven’t even gotten my first paycheck on salary yet. I will on the 15th. But I’m a little concerned that I actually almost took somewhat of a cut? My employers told me I average 32k per year so when I heard 37 I thought it was very generous. Now I’m not very sure. I might be missing something, so I’m hoping someone can shed some light on this situation. If this is not enough information, I’m happy to provide more. My employers are good people and I love them, but part of this doesn’t seem to be quite adding up the way I had hoped/expected. Thanks in advance.
