Do you have to be on-call?

We only get $1.75/hr for our call time but time and a half if we are called in.

$1.75/hr? That's it? Gees. That's cheap. At my lost job, we didn't get any money for being on-call.

We have 16 hours of call required per 4 week schedule. can be done in 4/8/12/16 hour blocks, all in one week or spread out.

WE get paid 3 dollars an hour for call, to sit at home, and if we come in, our regular pay, plus the 3 dollars an hour, plus any overtime we accrue by working the call.

We are a 32 bed LDRP and we have mandatory call of 12 hrs per 4 week schedule. Sign up is for 4 hr increments - dates and shift needs are posted when the completed schedule comes out and all are expected to sign up, and if have not signed up by second week into the schedule, will be ASSIGNED. On-call pay is measly 1.25/hr - if called in, 1hr travel pay, + 1 1/2 - however, our on-call satff are really just reg staff - because in 20 months that I have been there, I have NOT been called in ONLY 3 times. Even with the on-call staff, we are still often desparatly going thru the roll-a-dex calling every name - needless to say, with all the call we already do + our 36 hrs/wk - not many takers. Now we have 14 travelors in addition to our own staff - they say this is temporary and the call time will be "going away" soon - but I will believe this when I see it! :rolleyes:Flip side - I love the extra money -but hate all the time away from my family.

12hours/ week

$2/hr + time & 1/2

hate it; one of the reasons I've gone part-time

Nope, no mandatory on call time here. You can sign up for voluntary call. You can also sign up to stay home and if you get called to stay home, you get on call pay then time and a half to come in. We get $6/hr for on call. Seems like that's pretty high compared to other places. Lately we've been so busy that they have been calling people in offering double time.

i work in in small town in south alabama. we have to pull o/c for ob-gyn floor, which consist of labor and delivery,post partum,newborn nsy,and anything related to ob-gyn. we pull 1 24 hr o/c every 2 weeks. we get $1.50 per hr, and if you get called in, you get time and a half for that shift.

i also work in pacu. it pays $3.00 hr o/c and then when called in time and a half for whatever you work. :loveya:
