I work in 911 dispatch, so my job kind of falls into some weird exceptions as an essential public safety thing.
Technically I’m considered salaried somehow, but in practice my pay is hourly.
I work 12 hour shifts, and my paycheck reflects how many hours I worked (and however much PTO I used) during that pay period.
Technically, if shit really hits the fan my supervisor could come running into the lunch room and say they need all hands on deck, no more breaks today, and they’ve eased up on it a bit but for a long time we weren’t even supposed to leave campus at all on our breaks so that we’d be available if we were needed, so I guess that’s at least part of the reason my breaks are paid.
