San Francisco cleaner earned $ 270 thousand per year

San Francisco resident Liang Zhao Zhang, who clears subway stations, earned $ 2015 thousand dollars in 270 year. Zhang's acquaintances and local journalists did not immediately believe in this story. An employee of a quite mundane profession, thanks to hard work, managed to make a fortune, which many office staffers dream of, writes SF Gate.

As it turned out, the point is not at all that salaries in San Francisco are higher than in other US cities. The official salary of Liang Zhao Zhang is about $ 57 thousand per year. However, an eager public transport worker worked overtime and received increased compensation for this. As a result, at the end of the year, it turned out that overtime Zhang earned $ 162 thousands.

"Mr. Zhang's official full salary in 2015 was $276," said Alicia Trost, a spokeswoman for Bay Aria Rapid Transit. Journalists counted by the hour how such a sum was obtained.

It turned out that Zhang had worked 4 for thousands of hours in 2015. This is 2 times more than the average 40 worker works per week with paid vacations. Of these 4 thousands of hours that Zhang worked, 1420.73 was normal working hours, 24 hours of paid sick leave, 192 hours of vacation, 48 hours of rest, 3,27 hours of administrative leave. In addition, overtime, Zhang worked 1821.53 hours (paid one and a half times the normal rate), 63 hours on weekends, 601 an hour of double working day (paid 2 times the normal rate).

“This person takes all the work that they can. And all this is taken into account in the documents, ”says the representative of the metro.

The publication also notes that on average in the country, employees of a similar profession receive $ 27 thousand per year, that is, almost 10 times less.
