I'm currently working as a 40-hour salaried employee. The company I work for recently said that I'm one of their most efficient employees, and has offered me a 22% raise if I increase my hours to 50 hours a week. The logic was "we know you're working a second job, so why don't you work those hours here?".Now, I understand that this is a personal decision, but my math side is coming out here.
If my hours go up by 25%, shouldn't the pay go up by more than 25%? I understand that salaried positions don't have to stick to an hourly rate, but is this typical of companies and offers like this? If so, why?
