How so?

I'm a salaried worker who gets paid bi weekly with a chance for 20 hours OT a week 80% of the time........

Problem is that 20 hours only changes my take home by about a 1000 bucks.

Every pay period or every year?

ETA: [/sarcasm] just in case it wasn't obvious.

500 extra a week isn't bad

Get it while you can. If you're content with your pay without the overtime, just save all of it.

The federal government withholds money from your checks as if you are making the amount of the check every pay period. So if you are working OT in some periods and not in others, the OT periods will have more taken from them than you will owe - and the non-OT paychecks will have less taken from them than you owe. Because you will notice the former effect more than the latter, this will give the illusion that OT pay is being "punished" more than it really is.
