asked to stay late this morning!!!

Published

well it was my second shift at this facility. The feedback has been good. I was working 11-7 last night and the phone started ringing and ringing at about 3 am the regular staff just seemed to not notice. At 0655 I was asked if I could help out. Mind you my agency had not contacted me. I said I was tired but could help them out through breakfast like maybe 0900. The house supervisor said WELL you either work the whole shift or none. I smile and started to exit her office. She stopped me and wanted to know what I was doing and I said " I offered to stay until 0900 and you said that was not possible so I was leaving at the time I was contracted at. She then begged and I said she needed to contact my agency, that we decide on my hours. I then smiled and told her to have a nice day:kiss I don't think she will do this again. I was willing even though I had no responsibility to the facility to stay and help out. OH well MY PILLOW FELT REALLY GREAT!!!!!!!:roll :kiss THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT I AM GLAD I WORK AGENCY!!!

If the facility wants you to stay and YOU want to stay, just call your agency and TELL them. The floor charge will call their scheduler and approve the hours. I think all states are OT after 12 hours. If you have the energy, it is GOOD money. I think we have clarified it is OUR option if it is not already sheduled and they ask (yes... we have control, unlike regular staff).

Kansas is OT is over 40 in a week. No overtime benefit for long shifts or doubles. Just thought I'd throw it in....
