Fluctuating Workweek Overtime moved back to draftspace[edit]

do not move your own drafts to mainspace. Wait for them to be reviewed. If your instructor has told you otherwise, please let me know on my user talk page {{User talk:DGG]]so I can give them the proper advice.

Notes[edit]

Hi! I wanted to give you some feedback on the draft.

  • I noticed that you start the sections by saying things like "this section is about...". With sections it's best to just dive in and discuss the topic rather than introduce it, as that can make it feel too much like a journal article or paper. So for example, the section on conditions should start like this:
There are several conditions that must be met before a worker can receive overtime pay.
This may seem like an introduction, but the key difference here is that it's not introducing the section - rather it's a statement that certain conditions must be met. I definitely recommend reviewing similar articles to see how their sections are written and styled.
  • The lead also needs to be tweaked for style. Here's how I would style the first sentence of the lead:
Fluctuating workweek overtime, also known as Chinese overtime, is a method of wage calculation that provides labor remuneration for workers who continue to work outside the prescribed working hours.
This makes it into a straightforward, brief statement of what the article is about. The first sentence doesn't have to describe everything - just give a general enough overview to where people could understand what it's about. I also bolded the article title and the alternate name per style conventions for the lead's first sentence. I did remove the term "new" since that can be a fairly subjective term. For example, for some "new" means that it was created within the last few days or weeks, while for others it can mean within the last year or two. It's also a term that can swiftly become outdated, so with things that are relatively recent it's best to refer to the year that they were created or became popular.
From there we can tweak the content to read thusly:
Fluctuating workweek overtime, also known as Chinese overtime, is a method of wage calculation that provides labor remuneration for employees who continue to work outside the prescribed working hours. The idea behind fluctuating workweek overtime is that employees who work overtime should receive reasonable remuneration as overtime prolongs the working hours and increases their extra workload, regardless of their regular work hours or fixed salary. By utilizing fluctuating workweek overtime, the expectation is that employees who work more than their regular work hours can use these methods to receive proper remuneration and defend their rights. This approach may become more attractive to employers due to the increase in overtime hours, as overtime paid to employees will decrease. Specific conditions must be met for an employee to receive remuneration.
We don't really need to label the sections as those will be self explanatory in the article.
  • Be very careful of sources. Not all sources on the Internet are reliable. For example, this source is a blog post on a website for a company that sells payroll software. As such, this puts the reliability of the source into question since the site is going to use this as a way to sell their products, meaning that they may represent the content in a certain way so that companies will see their product as necessary. The conflict of interest here poses a big problem. It doesn't mean that the information is necessarily wrong, just that they're not the strongest possible source.
