Amazing that nowhere in all those responses is the simple answer: Pay them for their time. Want me to sit in your cube for 12 hours on a Saturday? No problem

Pay them for their time.
Want me to sit in your cube for 12 hours on a Saturday? No problem. That'll be $(hourly_rate * 12). Need 70 hours of my time this week because we've all got to dig in for this one last big push? I'm there, so long as you're prepared to pay me $(hourly_rate * 70).
Granted, if you want my best productivity, you'll purchase 30 hours of my time over the course of 4 days each week. But hey, it's your choice.
- tlholaday 16y agoThe questioner specified "voluntarily." I believe those answering interpret that as "without increasing compensation."
- Dylanlacey 16y agoI wonder if the asker was deliberatly trying to avoid saying "For free", while still wanting to not do anything at any cost. They might already know they're being unreasonable, and are just hoping to avoid having to think about or admit it. Then again I'm an outrageous cynic who thinks that any organization slowly tends towards screwing their employees unless careful, deliberate measures are taken.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoMany programmers are not hourly. So no way to pay by the hour. So a bonus calculated on hours or something like that?
