SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT OVERTIME...

In the public accounting field, putting in overtime hours during the busy seasons is a fact of life. However, we have a unique overtime program that makes life a little better for all of us.

The first 50 hours of overtime worked each year goes into an overtime bank. You can use these hours during the year to supplant your personal days off. If there are any hours left over in the bank at the end of the year, you are paid for these hours on a straight-time basis in the early part of the following year.

Any overtime hours in addition to 50 that are worked during the year are paid out on a straight-time basis on your next paycheck.

Some CPA firms believe in the 72-hour or the 80-hour workweek for their staff, especially during busy season. We feel that when you work that many hours, you naturally become unproductive and inefficient. Therefore, even during the busiest of times, we try to ensure that no employee works more than 55 hours a week. This keeps our employees fresh, and also ensures the quality of our work.
