I read the employee handbook, in its entirety. It said that in order to get all fringe benefits, a salaried employee must work a minimum of 30 hours a week. Another section said that if full time salaried employees worked less than 40 hours a week, then their paycheck would be prorated.

I did give up 20% of my salary and occasionally when there was an emergency and everyone showed up Saturday morning to make a delivery, I would also show up and not bill for those hours. This only happened a few times a year.

If you don’t ask for stuff, you are unlikely to get it.
