pay cut to do cna visits

Published

My company's only home health aid is leaving and the company is making no moves to replace her due to low census. Their plan is to have us nurses start doing the home health aid visits. That would be fine except they plan to pay us CNA wages instead of our RN pay to make these visits. We are paid per visit and the CNA pay is about a third of my RN pay per visit. Is this even legal? I can't survive on CNA pay. By the way, I'm in Florida.

That seems insane. When we had one of ours out on maternity and they wanted us to bathe pts they were paying us for both our RN visit and the hha visit or something. I never did one. But if that is there plan I would get the hell out of there. Fast. Not a chance I would even do one visit that isn't at my RN wage. I can understand paying that wage but missing pay should be replaced with admin time/your hourly inservice time.

This sounds like a legal question so I won't even attempt.

I would however ever take my home health experience on a job search.
