If the work is so hard, why would anyone choose to do it?

Lots of overtime hours! Because seafood is a highly perishable product, it must be frozen as quickly as possible to maintain the highest quality. This is why the seafood industry offers more overtime than most summer jobs. All hours in excess of eight (8) straight-time hours in a day will be paid at the overtime rate of one and one ­ half ( 1 1Ž2) times the base rate of pay.
