Salaried here and we get paid for OT. If we are supervising a crew we get OT in 4 hour blocks. Working a weekend covering the crew on a shift gets 16 hours of OT. I made quite a bit in OT last year and it looks like this year will be busy as well. I usually average at least 8 hours a week in OT, and on long outage months can get 8-9 units of OT. ( a unit is 8 hrs of OT).
I don't really care for the OT and would much rather have the time off to spend at home with the wife. I worked enough weekends and holidays in the Navy and could do without anymore.
The only upside is the company does pay for the overtime.
