I'm really not sure since I don't have access to HR info. Your best bet would be to contact the email addy for info. If I were to guess, I'd say $14-16 hr plus overtime?

Sent email for more info. on the Rigger job...bored with isurance sales currently...single with a car payment/mortgage...tired of the same old chair/keyboard job...need a change...could use the challenge of some real grunt work and of coarse the cheddar. Though $14-$16/hour scares the $hit out of me, sent email to get confirmation. Guessing the overtime is where you come out ahead.

I thought it was the law that overtime had to be paid after any hours over 8 were worked in a day?

if i remember right you don't get ot till you hit 40. Because i remember nobody wanted to get off the boat at the beginning of the week because it was a waste of time. you try to leave on a saturday or sunday. but when you are on there for 4 weeks you really don't give a ****.

Guys, I'm sure that you get 4hrs OT per day after you hit your first 40 hrs per week. These are 12-hr shifts per day offshore.

Overtime is mandatory after 40 hrs in a week. Some states are different, but TX is 40 a week.


Or you could be like me, and just make straight time for all hours worked.
