My buddy's wife Cherry is a stripper. She just got a new job at a new establishment, and makes a $10/hr base rate. After her introductory week, she'll go to $20/hr the next week. Her friend Jugs got hired at the same time, by the same establishment. Conveniently, this establishment has a bank system.
Flash forward two weeks. Cherry didn't use the bank but Jugs did. Cherry worked 10 hours each week (20 total), made $300, and averaged $15/hour.
Jugs worked 11 hours the first week and banked an hour...so she was paid for 10. The second week, she cashed an hour in, working only 9 but getting paid for 10.
Both girls worked 20 hours, got paid $300 (plus tips), and averaged $15/hr.
Notably, Jugs worked more when she had WORSE seniority, and less after she had moved up the totem pole (among others).
I'm missing a lot...but anything germane to the banking discussion?
Jugs was hired on Monday, so by Friday night when Jugs banked her extra hour, she was one of the senior dancers working her First Official (FO) dancing job. The other girls starting their FO dancing jobs were hired Tues-Friday and didn't have the seniority that Jugs did. Jugs enjoyed preferential scheduling on the main stage because of her seniority among the new dancers. The second week, when Jugs was upgraded to a dance Captain at the club, she was at the bottom of the totem pole and all of the other "Captains" were senior to her. Using her banked time working as a Senior FO, she dropped the 7AM shift on Saturday, stayed home with her kids and was paid as a dance Captain.
