You're a contractor. Contractors are paid hourly. If you're working extra hours, you should be getting paid for the extra hours, you just have to make sure to keep track of them.
- tomhallett 4y agoWhen I was a contractor at a big company and the project was behind, they asked people to start working weekends. Employees were salaried and didn't get paid for the extra time. As a contractor, I tried to submit a report with "3 extra hours for saturday" and it was rejected - they said "We only pay by the day. Please re-submit with 8 hours, even if you only worked 3 hours". Your setup is backwards and it's up to you to fix it. There are many things in your contract which are negotiable, but that all depends on your negotiating power.
