At every place I have ever worked there was no distinction made. You either worked those days or you didn't, based on your particular schedule. We also did not receive shift differentials except for one employer. The employer that paid a differential paid for noc shift, with no distinction whether or not it occurred on a weekend.

Every other weekend here is Friday and Saturday. We are also required to work 2 Sundays (as dayshift is required to work 2 Fridays) a month. Most people choose to do those Sundays on their weekend so as not to screw up their weekend off.:beer:

We are required to work 4 weekend shifts (day or night shift does) and one of those days must be a Saturday (day or night). For nocs, weekend consists of Friday, Saturday, or Sunday nights and for days, it's Saturdays and Sundays.

Wow, we are lucky where I work.

Weekends for dayshift are Sat/Sun. For nightshift it is Fri/Sat/Sun. Our weekend differential is an additional $2.25 on top of our nightshift differential. Someone working weekend option gets premium pay of $13/hour over base pay.

The more I hear, the luckier I feel. Some days I truly love my hospital.

Ours is Fri/Sat/Sun days & nocs every other weekend. M/S noc shift started a type of self schedule...so we decided weekends should not include Fridays....& worked it out so we only work every third Sat/Sun.
