Holiday differentials?

jadednurse · Apr 21, 2003

I think most places consider Easter a religious holiday and, therefore, don't offer a differential.

Although, if you think about it, Christmas is actually a religious holiday as well. I just think because it's become so commercialized it's recognized as a national holiday or something. All the places I've worked have offered similar holiday differentials (time-and-a-half).

What about Christmas -- celebrating the birth of Christ. Although, if the hospitals want to consider Christmas "a nonreligious" holiday & a holiday to celebrate Santa -- I'll practice my religion at home and keep the holiday differential. :eek:

We're on the same page, I just posted a minute quicker! Great minds think alike:)

I'm still whining about no Easter differential. Although, the patients did get absolutely lovely "Happy Easter" napkins for their meals.

We do not get holiday differentials for any holiday, and we do not get weekend differentials either.

We get evening, night and weekend differential. On Good Friday it is double time and a half, on Easter Monday, it is time and a half.

Wow...we get time and a half for New Year's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. $1 an hour differential for nights...another $1 an hour for weekends.

We don't get holiday pay for any holidays. I was surprised to find this out after I was hired. Oh well. The people who work all 12 hour shifts work 2 holidays per year, and the the 8 hour people work every other holiday. Easter is not considered a recognized holiday here either.

I am betting that I will see it pop up anyway, but to quote sjoe....

We will get exactly as much crap as we will take.
