I have been asked to apply for a salary position at my company. Right now I am paid by the hour with time and a half on Saturday and double time on Sunday. The new job pays a base pay and straight time on Saturday and time and half on Sunday. Both based on base pay/52/40. How do I know how much base pay to ask for so I don't lose money? I work almost every weekend both days.

That is a math question, not a legal one.

This is a legal site. We would have no way of knowing how much you should ask for. I advise you take a pencil to a piece of paper and figure it out.

I'm not going to be as picky as my fellow senior members only because the math is easy. But to do the math I need to know how many hours you work each day of the week.

Thank you. Usually 56 hours at $29.75 / hour. That's assuming I work Saturday and Sunday. Last year I made $98k before taxes.

This is where Google sent me. I have tried pencil and paper and Excel and I get a range fo 61k to 75k just wanted to know if there was a formula to figure the minimum.

I still need to know the hours you work on Saturday and Sunday and preferably each day. But if you grossed $98K last year you need to ask for that amount or greater as a salary or you will be losing money.

8 hours on each day. 40 through the week at 16 on weekends. Last years totals for OT was 405 hours and for DT

I still get straight pay on Saturday and 1.5 pay on Sunday. So it will be less than 98k.
What do you mean? If you expect to make approximately $98k per year (before taxes) as an hourly employee, then you can expect to be paid about $1,885 per week (before taxes) as a salary employee. You would make that no matter how many hours you work (to an extent)
