Many operations in chemical plants cannot be completed within an eight-hour shift, such as starting up or shutting down facilities, or carrying out emergency repairs. As technicians, it is inevitable to work overtime when faced with such tasks; many critical steps need to be verified, and there are often personnel who are irreplaceable. Therefore, working overtime is normal and represents a spirit of dedication. In our company, there is no overtime pay for either technical or management positions. Since overtime work is common, employees are not penalized if they take half a day or a full day off to attend to family matters; the company also sends out rewards for overtime work, and those who work overtime receive additional compensation.

You’ll have money whether you come or not; it just depends on how much. I worked 8 hours of overtime this month, which might earn me more than the 32 hours of overtime I worked last month.
