I was offered a travel position for 8 hour shifts on 2 to 10 p.m. I accept the 5 8 hour shifts per week.
After working 2 days I find the next's month schedule with 12 hour shifts and I am being placed on 12 days 6 am to 6 p.m.
I am scheduled to work 5 8 hour shifts in a row and then starting Dec 1st 2 12 hours shifts (total 7 shifts in a row).
How does the shift hour change from 8 hours to 12 hours affect a signed contract for 8 hours? I would lose 4 hours a week, and over the balance of 12 weeks, there's also a loss of pay that concerns me.
Do I need to have my agency renegotiate the contract to show 12 hours shifts, and would I ask for a pay increase to cover the loss wages?
Any input or ideas welcome!
