What does 14 on / 14 off pay?
Hourly rate alone won't tell you — 183 workdays with overtime after 8 or 10 hours, LOA or camp, travel pay and vacation pay change what a year is actually worth, and what each day away from home earns you.
Estimates for comparing offers — not tax, payroll, or financial advice. Enter the OT and allowance rules from the actual offer or agreement; they vary by employer and agreement.
