Time and a half

I thought this was interesting so I though I would pass it on.

In Belize there are holidays that pay time and a half and 3 holidays that pay double time.
Now in the US of A that means if you make $5 and hour you make $7.50 or $10 an hour...Right?

Well, in Belize time and a half and double time mean this:
You get your regular pay of the day (say $3 an hour for an 8 hour day= $24 a day) PLUS Time and a half for each hour worked. (Another $4.50 and hour for an 8 hour day= an additional $36 a day to equal $60 a day!!) So to us that would be double and a half time.

So double time is first your daily wage PLUS Double time for each hour worked....yep that is triple time to us!

Also, if you are schedule the day before and the day after a holiday, but are off on the holiday, you have to be paid a regular days pay for the holiday.

Keep in mind, a good paying desk job pays $30Blz a day. ($15 US)

That is today's tid-bit.
