This is exactly how it is in Poland, by law.
150% salary for weekdays+saturdays overtime (200% if at night) and 200% sundays and bank holidays. ~400 overtime hours a year hard limit.
- krzyk 5y agoSmall correction: Saturdays are also 200% (for the first 8hrs, the remaining ones are 150% - yeah, strange but I was bitten by it once).
- hailwren 5y agoGiven that CDPR are in Poland, I guess we can say it didn't work?
- ithinkso 5y agoIn the sense that it didn't pay off for CDPR. The developers were paid regardless.
- burntoutfire 5y agoIn general, in Poland most senior people work as (pretend) "contractors", because the taxes are drastically lower for them than for full-time employment (it's essentially a massive country-wide tax evasion scheme which is, at least for now, tolerated by the tax authorities). None of the labor protection laws (high overtime pay etc.) apply to them. I don't know if CDPR also hires a ton of "contractors", but I would be very surprised if they didn't - they'd be saying no to a ton of experienced people who just won't work as full time employees.
- krzyk 5y agoIt depends on companies, some corps do it, some don't. I worked in both types, usually contractors are treated as second class citizens, e.g. some perks don't apply to them. I have yet to see a company where contractors are majority.
- burntoutfire 5y agoThat's because most companies don't consist solely of very senior people (they can't afford them). Among very senior and valuable people, contractors are a majority I think.
- krzyk 5y agoI think this is more like cost cutting by some (cheaper?) companies. Companies that can afford normal work contract don't play with the other contracts.
