Who does more overtime in your company?contractors or permie

I don't do overtime as no-one wants to pay for it. If someone wants to contract me for 8 hours a day, that's what they get. If they want more, they have to pay more, but they never want to so it's tough.
Doing work for free is not acceptable. This is a capitalist society after all.Serving religion with the contempt it deserves... -
I'm contracted at the moment for a "Professional Working Week" based on 42 hours, but can be between 37 and 48; I don't get any OT until the 49th hour. Unless it's weekends or BH of course.
In my last role (permie) most of the permies did some overtime, but the contractors hardly any......
I guess it depends a lot on the company and the people; regardless of them being permie or a contractor.Comment

I'm on a day rate, so no overtime. Permies get o/t, but they have to go on call at silly times (weekends) and they'd have to pay me shedloads to do that.
Some day I do 12 hours and only get paid for a day, some days I do 2 hours and still get paid for a day. It all evens itself out (I make sure it does) and everyone's happy. Especially me.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
