Straight pay for 12 hour shifts?

Teshiee · Apr 10, 2002

In CA you are paid 8 hours and time in a half for the 4 hours. The shift differential varies from hospital to hospital. But the down side to that is when it kicked in effect your base rate was lowered to meet the same amount as if you were working straight 12 hours. Either way they get you.

I work in a nonunion hospital, 12hr shifts with shift diff from 3p-7p then all of 7p-7a. Also a weekend diff. Our overtime is an automatic 8 hrs (32hr 1 week then 48hr the next week)

just a funny, We have a nurse in our ER who only works one 12 hour shift a week, a part timer. The other night she was absolutely incensed, as she found out she did not get time and half for that last 4 hours.. Where do some of these people come from.

what's overtime?

we work 12's and do not ot after 8...AND my facility offers *ESP* (extra special pay) to lure you into picking up extra, or when they have call in's, etc.

EXCEPT, the nurse has to ASK FOR IT.....if you are called and say that you will come in and work, you must ask for it then, or they are not under any obligation to pay you ESP.

If you are in a hurry, or are new, and do not know enough about it to ask for it....you will not get it...

Kinda tacky huh?

Ok, where I work we do get a diff. We work 12 hours and we get $2.50 from 3-7 pm. We are non union.

Where I work, people who work 12 hour shifts get straight pay and time and a half for anything over 12 hours in a 24 hour period OR over 40 hours a week. People who work 8 hour shifts as part of their regular schedule get time and a half for anything over 8 hours in a 24 hour period and over 40 a week. We get paid differential during any time we work a shift that has a differential. Hope this helps!

I work 7A-7P and get paid my hourly wage for the 12 hr shift, anything over 40hrs/wk I get overtime pay. Our night shift differential just increased to an extra $4.00/hr and we get a $2.00 extra differential on weekends.

I get time and a half for working 12 hours on Sat and Sun and am considered full time. It's called a baylor shift. I don't work and during the week. So it works out to working for 24 hours and getting paid for 36 with full benefits. Not too bad.

...anytime worked past 8 hours per day (regardless of full or part time employment will receive over-time rate), or all work performed in excess of 80 hrs in 2 weeks (except those hrs for which time & one half or double time is paid which isn't included in the 80 hr base work period.

if an employee is scheduled to work on holidays, they're paid time and one half. if they're called in on a non-holiday, they're paid at a hr & one half time. if they're called-in on a holiday, they're paid double-time and a half; or compensation time earned in the amount of 12 hrs are given in addition to the hrs worked that day.

any overtime earned is paid at straight time :eek: if an absence or sick calls occurs within that 80 hr base work period.

those individuals who work 12 hour shifts do get shift differential but aren't paid overtime past 8 hrs :sniff: :crying2: because that's their regular schedule as of yet...but the union reps are getting ready to open-up the contracts & address this issue. :coollook: these individuals usually work weekends & have the work week off. this was design to reduce the nursing shortages on the week-ends due to call-outs...especially pay weekend.

7am-7pm (the first 8 hrs are paid at straight time with no differential & 4hrs are paid at the 3-11pm 10% shift differential)

7pm-7am (4hrs are paid at the 3-11pm 10% shift differential & 8 hrs at the 11pm-7am 8% shift differential)

those individuals whom work weekends will also receive an additional $2.00/hr weekend differential. :smokin:
