I believe it mostly depends on the whole package offered to your employees. I am currently a permatemp working for a Big Nameless Corporation (BNC, has nothing to do with the "Banque Nationale du Canada;)) I am paid hourly, with time and a half for overtime. There are no paid vacations, sick days, and all I got for Thanksgiving was a lousy 50 bucks (USD, before deductions.)I am the only contractor on my team, the rest are regular employees of BNC and are salaried. Things were sweet until some PHB decided he would save 30K on a budget of 1.2 million dollars by cutting all overtime. My manager had to follow suit, and there we go, no more overtime. I would usually do at least 45 hours a week. (Money is nice...). At this point, if BNC's management were to offer me a regular, salaried position, I would take it in a heart beat. I am crossing my finger for the 1Q2000... The names have been changed to protect the innocents and the guilties... Mostly the guilties.
