How does your facility compensate employees who work holidays? Am currently employeed at a clinic that gives everybody except one provider and an assistant/nurse holidays off with pay. The provider (physician, PA, NP) is a salaried person thus gets an alternative day off. The assistant/nurse gets 8 hours of time and one-half pay and 16 hours of on call pay= $2.00 hr. On call means that you are available to respond and be at the clinic within 20 minutes, unless its emergent then immediately. Seems like the 5 assistants/nurses who take turns with this holiday scheduling are getting the short end of the stick, or perhaps slapped with the stick especially when you work the majority of the holiday....
