holiday pay

[dewp_63]

i have just finished reading a lot of the posts about nursing pay... makes me depressed - and i thought i was doing good! the hospital system i work for doesn't give charge diff's or weekend diff's (unless you've already worked more than 16 hours w/e in the pay period). they also don't pay diddely for holidays . . . is this the norm out there? when i worked home health, i got double time for visits on holidays (and plenty people chose to make visits on holidays!), and the previous hospital i worked for paid 1 1/2 time for holidays. i'm pool, and don't get any kind of raises until they change the "contract pay". really like my job, now - just changed from icu to er, but don't want to give my services away . . .but don't want to give my services away!!!

1. Shift Diff - $3 for 3-11, $4 for 11p-7a, $4 for 7p-7a

2. Week-end - An addition $1.50 per hour worked during week-end hours

3. After your scheduled 36 hours a week any additional 4 hour blocks picked up because the unit is short adds a bonus of $10/hr on top of any diffs paid.(Also on top of any overtime,over 40, hours)

We are in a very competitive area with

Almost forgot If you work holiday you get time and 1/2 plus any diff's and an additional 8 hours off with pay.
