Better do a little refiguring,12hrs day 7 days week figured together with overtime equals around $9:50 an hour I can make more than that tasting pie’s?
If it’s contract (as self employed) no OT rate.. sadly this pays better than my FL security job did..
This sounds good on the surface but it’s not that good in the long run. 12 hour days+overtime back to back is no joke. Even nurses do 12 on 12 off. After a week most people will hit that exhaustion wall and that’s when accidents happen. Hopefully, there’s a scheduler with a knowledge of OSHA standards. Whoever wrote this clearly hasn’t a clue and sugar coated the hell out this one.
Wow asking for gas and mileage my god people 1000 aweek is more than most of u have made in your life ! Its a job do u get oaid to drive to work amd gas .the nerve of folks.
It’s obvious many of you do not need to work. Those of you that do, I hope you find employment.
Is there gasoline, or compensation for gasoline purchased?
Wear and tear on vehicle ( mileage ) ?
I will like to be called asap
Fyi, Nurses work 12 hr shifts … day and night.
I’m not sure how some of you are doing the math. 12 hours for 7 days a week is 84hrs. The first 40 hours are at $12/hr, which is $480. 44 hrs are at $18/hr, which is then another $792, for a total of $1272 per week. That divided by 84 hrs averages to $15/hr.
Need to work
There is no physical labor as far as picking up debris. It’s sitting in your vehicle making sure the truck in front of you is doing what they should. You document it, give them a ticket to take to the dump site and then they give it to the person standing at the gate (that would be me). The pay is $12/hr for the first 40. Then it goes to $18/hr for every hour after 40. Only physical labor is writing on a paper. If you have a valid driver’s license and a vehicle you should apply. Easy money!
@JimC
I was intentionally being hyperbolic but I also took some time to google the company hiring for that job and their top CEO. I know that people will do all kinds of gymnastics to justify income disparity in capitalism and this is hardly the worst offender but personally I find the expectation that anyone sacrifice 12 or more hours a day 7 days a week in order to make a living offensive. They could definitely take a bit less up top and pay a bit more and hire a few more people because even for a brief amount of time those kind of hours are unhealthy. Companies that perpetuate that kind of life/work imbalance deserve some scorn. Spread out a little more money. Spread out more free time. Let the debris sit a little longer.
I need work picking up debris
@Bill – If you take a job knowing up front what is expected and what the compensation will be, it’s hardly Stalinistic. Stali would have essentially said, “Do it or else.” Big difference.
“Must have a flexible schedule with the availability to work up to 12 hours a day and seven days a week; may be required to work some days in excess of 12 hours”
Whatever Stalin
12.00 an hour plus overtime…
12 hour days 7 days a week… And you get $1000…..That’s less than 9.50 an hour
Not enough money for that many hours not that I could handle it physically..just saying a lot of chances to get hurt. Someone else is making the money…
I need work picking up debris
Need some work picking up drbri
I’m looking forward to it
Are they looking for any managers or supervisors?
$9.64 an hour if you count the 44 hours overtime as 66+40 regular =106 hours.
The pay is not $11.90/HR. It’s $9.43.
40 regular hours + 44 overtime hours. So 1.5 x 44 = 66. 66 + 40 = 106. $1,000/106 = $9.43.
Plus you have expense of gas and wear and tear on vehicle driving around, and it says some days may be over 12 hours.
Would love the job easy work I did this job katrina‼‼
Guys, it’s a job that is picking up trash/waste and putting it into some kind of container. Literally, some animals could do this job. I agree about the education part but to expect more than $11-12 per hour is not realistic. Do it or don’t do it. Some young bucks looking to make some money and have a strong frame will jump on this I’m sure. It’s hard manual labor but it’s only for a short period of time, most likely only a few months at best (and it’s getting to be the nice part of the year). Who wouldn’t be interested in $4K per month for 2-3 months…if you have the stamina, go apply!
They should have said $11.90 an hour but $1000 per week sounds better. I don’t see where the education requirement matters in this job. I know several individuals that could do this but never finished high school. Maybe when they read this article they will enroll in a GED class.
Here to help
84 hours per week with 44 being what should be overtime. That’s $9.43 per hour. Basically minimum wage
Retired and available
…….”Must pass random drug screening”
Well…. that does it for most prospective applicants.
Too dang old to apply for this yet it is a GREAT opportunity for anyone who is physically able and meets the requirements.
I do like seeing the Citizenship / Authorization to work in USA and pass drug screening.
So basically 11.90 an hour.
