Shift differentials at a LTC facility?

The whole kicker is - any job what they don't tell you. As I know it - differential pay starts at day one - also exceptions such as you mentioned, and also included sometimes an employeer may say not until you are after to probation period. Sad :) as CNAs we are not presented with a contract about wages. Instead of buyer beware - we are in the catagorey of of hire beware.

If I was you, I would start looking for a job somewhere else. Check local hospitals or other LTCs. It will not look bad at all if you change jobs. Everyone has to leave a job at some point or another.

Yesterday was actually day 2 of my orientation. We've got .50 for pm, .35 noc, and .50 weekends. On my first day of general facility orientation, the person in payroll did explain to me that we had to work the full weekend to get the differential, and made it clear that if we clocked out even a minute early we would lose the extra. We don't have to work every weekend though (but I chose too!)

I only got paid noc differential.

Only RN's got weekend differential. kinda ****** me off but what can you do... they

Thank you SO much everyone!!! I was planning on going to the local hospital and getting a job there, since they are literally always hiring techs and I know for a fact they do shift differentials!!! Thanks again :)

We get 50 cents for weekends too. It's such a joke. Oooh, 8 bucks, what an incentive! That can pay for my gas to get there! lol

I know, right! Well I would appreciate any differential for the weekend OR third shift. It just bothers me that they claimed I would get something and didn't deliver. But that is why I am in college :)

At one LTC I worked for, they didn't give differentials @ all. The one LTC I am at now gives a $.50 differential for 2nd shift...idk what it is for night shift. And every shift gets a $2.00 weekend differential.

WOW~our CNA's should feel blessed! We pay $1.50 for eves, $.50 for nights and $1.00 for their every other weekend and if they work another weekend they get $2.00. I guess it depends on where you are. I would look for another job if one was available. Unfortunately if they lied about that it could be more. JMT

Know how much shift differential I get for 3rd shift?

15 cents. Yeah. FIFTEEN FREAKIN' CENTS. Yep, a whopping 1.20 per shift. Just awesome.

wow, CNA's where I work at get $2.50 differential for the weekends..

I work in a hospital...everyone from rns to dietary get 2.00 for weekend an extra 2.00 for second shift and 3.50 for third shift...and first shift since they dont get any differentials receive two half hour breaks
