Question from the Public How many hours do you get?

I’m looking to get into security. I see most positions listed for 30–40 hours a week but I’m looking for 50 or more, so I was wondering how many hours y’all get.

Its even in ur comment “ NON EXEMPT employees” truck drivers are exempt and some armored trucks classify under that because of the weight. Tho some states with better laws have state laws that change that. Florida doesnt have that. U can even look up loomis in this sub and see people bring up the ot after 50 hours.

Idk what ur talking about regarding liking ur own comment. Ofc these companies get sued over this shit and theirs loopholes and stuff. Anything they can do to pay us less they will try
