Nurses COVID
Published Jun 24, 2020
Are there any other hospitals out there that are not paying hazard pay? Or is it just the hospital I work at ??

We got "retention pay" but not hazard pay. Not yet at least. The union is working on it.

No hazard pay even though we were the designated COVID unit and got dumped on. No raises either.

I've been getting it for awhile now. It really adds on a lot of money. Very grateful for it.

No hazard pay but we did get our merit increases, I got my chemo cert increase, and we just got a retention bonus the other week so $$$ in some form.

Nope. Hard to justify hazard pay for some while furloughing others.

That's awful to not at least give you guys a raise!

No hazard pay in the ER. I don’t think any unit is receiving hazard pay in my healthcare system.

I’m not in a hospital, but we rotate through a mobile Covid testing unit. I advocated for hazard pay but was shot down.

No hazard pay, and just learned no performance emails evals and raises for the fiscal year. Supposedly there I'd a small one-time recognition payment in the works for later this year, which I guess is something.

We do not get Hazard pay. They did start a 10$/hr bonus program for extra shifts on the covid NICU unit, but that is as available.

None here. Plus we got all the extra pay differentials cut or eliminated and no merit raises this year. We were basically told we were lucky to have our jobs and not be furloughed.
