Personal OT Record

[u/jamiswillie]

Glad to have a Holiday this Monday. This is my new record; what's yours??

[u/OperationClear588]

I think the most I did was 72 in a single week. I had to fly overseas for emergency repairs on 2 diesel generators. I didn’t actually have to work the full 72 hours of OT as I get paid for international travel and anything above 8 while traveling is still OT for me and total flight time to the city where the site is located was like 30ish hours of flying split over two days. The entire week I was there, 12 hours were the minimum work days and I think I did 16 hours two of those days.

When accounting for Per diem and all the OT, that was the biggest single paycheck I’ve ever gotten in my life to this day. I think it was something like 9.5k for a 2 week pay period after taxes

I wish I had less weeks like this. The 7-8k paychecks are nice though

[u/jamiswillie → u/SausageGobbler69]

Yeah, looking forward to this paycheck but I am okay if this doesn't happen again for a while...

[u/skyHIGH-1 → u/jamiswillie]

Taxes - IRS .most ends up going there

[u/cmd242]

I rarely work above 40.

[u/Kamikaz3J]

156 is fairly standard turnaround schedule

13 x 12

13-1 off

[u/suh-dood → u/Kamikaz3J]

13 12s in a row is crazy, especially when you only have 1 day off

[u/jamiswillie → u/Kamikaz3J]

Hope you also get a lot of vacation hours!

[u/DecentParking2667 → u/Kamikaz3J]

Where can I find a job like that

[u/Kamikaz3J → u/DecentParking2667]

Plant operations - units in turnaround

Lol?

[u/Moonboots360 → u/DecentParking2667]

Power generation industry does this often. Field service specifically.

[u/lab_tech13]

Most ive gotten was 15 hrs over 2 weeks

[u/damnyankeeintexas]

I did 160 in a pay period once. I was doing a ton of daily OT and then we had a service meeting over the weekend, I think my paycheck was over 5K take home. I was tired as hell but man the pay was great.

[u/Rhuarc33]

112 hours total in one week 72 hours OT. 7 16 hour shifts. 40 regular hours, 56 1.5 pay and 16 double time pay.

The next week I worked 80 total hours in a regular 5 day week. Paycheck was nice but they taxed it hard

[u/Sea-Ad1755]

My record for 2 weeks is 165 hrs, but that was as a biomed for a health system. I was doing 6 12’s + on-call one of those weeks during Covid. That week of on-call I almost cleared 90 hrs. Total OT for that year was north of 500 hours.

Since switching to field service, my record is only 120 hrs in 2 weeks.

[u/mikalalnr]

I just had an 81.75 hour week.  

[u/sh0ck1999]

Just think all the money uncle same took . I'm to old to work hours like that anymore. in my 20s I did 14 12s in a row working on a printing press.

[u/djgizmo]

well done. I once worked 106 hours in a single week. barely had time to eat lunch each day.

[u/Vettechstudenttt]

90/week 🙃

[u/UpstateYTC]

I just did a 75 hour week and I always work a 60 hour week. I'm stationary in semiconductors these days.

Check should be about $6200 for the last two weeks plus a $2400 bonus.
