Any approved overtime over that will be paid at time and a half, which you can take as salary or time off. 你上班后将享受我们的医疗保险。既然你是中层，你将会比正常工作时间多工作1.5小时。超过1.5小时的必要加班都会有1.5倍的工资，可以以现金形式或假期形式兑现。 Derrick: I understand. . 我知道了。 Joe: A reasonable number of sick days will be covered by the company. Any extendedillness will be covered by insurance. Have you read the other terms of the contract? 合理的病假时间里公司照常支付工资。超出一定时间范围将会由保险公司负责支付。合同上的其他一些条款，你看了吗？ Derrick: Yes, I have. 是的，看了。 Joe: Do you have any questions? 你有什么问题吗？ Derrick: Just one. I noticed an item about flex-time. Is that a possibility for me? 只有一个问题。我注意到了有关弹性工作时间的规定，对我也适用吗？ Joe: Yes it is, but you'll have to discuss the details with your manager. 是的，但你必须与你的经理谈。 Derrick: That's acceptable. 这可以接受。 Joe: Good.
