36M, third full year as an automotive technician
Just started at a new shop with a hybrid flat rate pay scale. I am guaranteed 40 hours per week at a base rate of $37/hr or $1480 gross per week. If I flag 35 hours of work I get a $5 bump per hour over the whole time. Then another $3/hr for every 5 hours flagged after that. My second week there I flagged 43 hours and got $45/hr for the whole time. It is slow right now so I hope to get my flagged hours per week up to 50+ as it gets busier. I was previously straight hourly pay at $30/hr and getting about 5 hours per week of 1.5x overtime. So this is quite the bump in pay for me.
