4th of July, no time and half

Believe me, when we found out that today was NOT a holiday, we all were STEAMIN' - unfortunately, too late to change schedules! :angryfire I will remember this for the next time the staffing office is begging for RNs to cover open shifts!!!

Since I was asked, I must say that the nonpayment of evening differentials at my facility really annoys me. All of our full time ICU nurses must work 12 hour shifts. For day shift that is 7A-7P. All other nursing units offer 8 hour shifts and offer an evening differential starting at 3 PM........but we receive no differential for the same time we are both working (3P-7P).

There really is no rationale for this inequity, they are just being incredibly cheap. Their "rule" is: If you clock in before 8 am you do not get the differential. That, of course, effectively eliminates the ICU day shift. :angryfire

Oramar, I can't believe how cruddy that is!!! :angryfire I am at work right now getting ready to go home. It is holiday pay for me, but believe me, I would be pretty hacked if it weren't holiday pay for those of us who worked Fri/Sat/Sun! BTW, another hospital in town works Sat/Sun/Mon in order to cover the fact that most weekend holidays are celebrated on Mondays. Makes logical sense to me. What do the rest of y'all think? :rolleyes:

Our hospital does not pay any different than any other day. We do not even get holiday for Christmas or Thanksgiving. Consider yourself lucky if you get anything more than your nl pay as some of us get NIL!!

We don't get holiday pay EVER. Doesn't matter what day it is, there is no incentive for us to work except that we are required to. For nights, we get $3. For weekends, only a stinkin DOLLAR. ONE DOLLAR. :angryfire: I'd be pretty pissed if I were you, but at least you do get holiday pay sometime. But the 4th situation really sucks.

I work nights so last night Saturday into Sunday am was my holiday. Wont add that we get 2 1/2 times pay. Rj-- And those who dont work get staight time for it.

Our hospital is doing the same thing... Tomorrow (7/5) will be the day that if you work you get the holiday pay... I think its rather stupid myself.. But I work today and tomorrow, so it works out for me..

I got reduced at my hospital job...so I'll never know if it was holiday pay or not! (Darn, the money would have come in handy!)

I have a part-time job at the hospital and a full time job at the university. University has 7 paid holidays per year (we get them off). Plus we accrue 18 hours vacation each month.
