TDStudent: hey david, question for you about the gantt chart assignment, if you have a minute
TDTeacher: ok
TDStudent: you say that if our work exceeds our allotted time, we have to determine the amount of overhire required, and where it fits into the schedule. can we have the overhire work on weekends?
TDStudent: because, as my sched. is right now, my lin time is what is exceeding our hard 4 week limit
TDTeacher: well
TDTeacher: what you have there is a show that is too big
TDTeacher: even though you appear to have enough hours
TDTeacher: so
TDTeacher: you can go ahead and use 10 hour days or weekends
TDTeacher: but lets make this rule to see how it works
TDTeacher: you cannot call overhire any time you are not calling your staff
TDStudent: okey dokey
TDTeacher: and then you need to tell me how much overtime will be required
TDTeacher: which we will call any hours in a week past 40
TDStudent: alright
TDTeacher: that’s likely how you would have to handle it in the world
TDStudent: just out of curiosity, because its outta the scope of this assignment, why would you take on overhire, instead of having your guys stay in for overtime?
TDTeacher: really it just isn't done
TDTeacher: makes people twitchy if you sned them home and bring in others to keep from going into OT
TDTeacher: also you get no continuity on projects
TDTeacher: maybe
TDTeacher: if you were doing a complete second shift
TDTeacher: then you would do that
TDTeacher: but if we are talking a couple of guys, less so
TDStudent: ah, ok. i see
TDStudent: just a kind of courtesy to your staff, really
TDTeacher: I guess in a stock or Ed situation
TDTeacher: where the extra labor isn't being paid, you might do like a Saturday all student call without your staff
TDTeacher: but the places I have worked haven't sent staff home to avoid OT
TDTeacher: and in an IA situation its against the rules
TDStudent: k
TDStudent: *frantically writes this down in notebook*
TDStudent: thank you!
