Bonus for extra shifts: what are your facilities doing for you?

[timonrn]

This hospital had a summer long-extended to December policy that if you pre-aprove a w/e shift by thursday you get $50.00per4hour shift worked on top of the contract extra w/e bonus. Worked well for some but the rest of us who got called in at the last minute missed out so, like me, we who were not willing to commit until last minute just said no becuz this is so not fair. Well, as of 12/15 and due to such a severe crisis here in the Twin Cities this hospital now sais anyone asked to work extra shifts on the w/e will get bonus!! Yeah-they finally listened to us "last minute sure I'll come in for a shift" people!! What is your facilty doing to entise extra shifts?

We can sign up early or get called in for an extra shiftf. Anyway, we get 1 1/2 times plus $12.50/hr extra for a bonus shift, and if you are a day shift worker who picks up a night shift you get the $5 differential on top of it.

we get double time for anything over our scheduled 36 hrs. we can sign up for extra shifts ahead of time, or on an as needed basis. is encouraged, so that agency is not needed.

We have CSP or "Critical Staffing Pay", can be scheduled ahead of time on days your unit is short staffed or can be given when you are called in.

It's time and a half plus $10.00 or 3-11 and $15.00 for 11-7.

This is above and beyond your schedule. For instance part-timers who work on day a week, can get CSP time and a half plus bonus for coming in.

I'm not sure what day shift bonus is, I think it's time and a half plus $8.00.

RN/LPNs basically make the same, CNAs make a smaller CSP, but it's generous for night shift for them.

Well, hold on to your hats, I know this is going to cause a rush of people applying at my facility but if you pick up a shift, you get a free meal!!!woooohooooo. Oh, but if you want cappuchino (sp) with that it will be an extra .75 cents

[LilgirlRN, ADN, RN]

we get 6 extra bucks an hour if the shift is a person short and you agree to come in, if they are 2 people down you get the BIG bonus of 10 bucks an hr!
