[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why?! I'm sorry, I know I sound dumb and naieve but I don't understand the benefit. Either that or I'm not taking advantage of the benefit.[/quote]

You already get the benefits associated with being salaried that hourly workers don't get. Paid vacations, health care, etc. These benefits count towards your total compensation. So you are earning more per hour in total compensation than an hourly worker. This is the reason most workers would prefer to be salaried is because of the advantages of total compensation.

When your company calculates your salary based on 150hrs/month, it could be that the calculation is based on the average number of hours your job takes to complete per month. So some months are below and some above. If that is not true and you are consistently at 172hrs/month, perhaps you should have a conversation with your supervisor. I don't know. My contract doesn't include language like this. In my workplace, when we have an excessively busy month, we are given informal 'comp time' as a perk for our hard work. Between that, my overall compensation as a salaried employee, and the flexibility being salaried allows me, it has never occurred to me to calculate every hour I work.

It doesn't sound like you are happy with the job overall. Are there other things at play here?
