My Day
Fixed but flexible
Most days I work from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. If a part has been delayed, I will work late to get it done.
It's a small business and the management is pretty flexible. When my in-laws needed a transmission, I worked on it during the day. It makes up for when I've been asked to stay an extra hour or half hour.
If I'm sick, I try to make up the time. I don't have to but I'll stay later to help clean up the shop or go in on a Saturday to help out.
If I'm asked to work on a Saturday, I get paid overtime because that's above my regular 40 hours a week.
