Ellsworth IL | I took it as he was looking at full 40 hour weeks but averaged over the year to make the 2080 "work" hours in a year . Kind of what a lot of grain farmers do in slack time... "there's nothing to do today , stay home " but they put the needed hours in during busy season .
Speaking from a hired hand POV there's nothing wrong with that system , as long as both sides of the equation don't care if it doesn't come out absolutely square and plumb. There is nothing worse from an ambitious employee's side than having to sit in the shed and just be there when everything is already fixed, polished and put away. Same as it stinks from an employer side when the helper that drew full salary for sitting home several weeks in the summer and winter won't put in 70 hours a week during planting and harvest .
