If you don't mind me asking What's your take home after doing 60 a week at the factory? I working 60-70 a week as a operator at my factory in Aus.

So in the U.S, last year I was making 640 for a 40 hour workweek. A 48 hour one would put me at about 850, and im assuming this 60 hour WW plus the potential 8 hours should push me past 1000, 1200 easy

Thanks for replying mate. Do you get paid any overtime rates for your 12 hr shift?

Sure do, 1.5x pay any shift that runs over 8 hours (10s are 8 based plus 2 hours of 1.5x) And if we run Sundays, that's automatic double pay. I worked one 10 hour shift on a Sunday and got 2x base pay for 8 hours, and something ridiculous like 2.5x pay for the extra two hours.

I have a raise from my union next month, and my annual yearly raise in July. By then I should be earning 24/hrs base pay, if not closer to 24.50 (i make 22.49 base pay)
