because if you contribute during work hours, the contribution is legally owned by your employer. If you contribute after work, some jurisdictions also might give the employer rights to that contribution. So the answer is: because the code might not really be yours to contribute.
- Aeolun 6y agoI guess they should then just not pay me for the time I spent working on non-approved stuff.
- colejohnson66 6y agoIt’s a bit difficult to do that when your salaried. Because you’re not being paid for the hours you work, but just for being an employee, many states have said that stuff done outside of work could be construed as being “on the clock”
- Aeolun 6y agoAh, not where I work. If I work any less than 40 hours they substract it from my salary, even though it’s the closest thing we have to a salaried position.
- colejohnson66 6y agoIsn’t that just hourly with no overtime pay then? That sounds ridiculous
- Aeolun 6y agoHmm, if you put it like that. Yes, I guess that’s how it works :/ Ultimately overtime is paid, but the first 45 hours every month are ‘included’ in the salary.
