Just wondering how other hospitals/facilities work their differentials

How much do you get?

Is it fixed or percentage based?

Is there a maximum you can get?

Where I work it is percentage based with pretty low maximums: you get 10% of your base for evening and weekends with a max of $2.00, and 20% for nights with a max of $6.50, And $1.00/hr for charge.

3-11 is $2.00/hr

11-7 is $4.00/hr

weekends is $1.00/hr.

charge is .75/hr.

Like Roy, I work for a not for profit hospital...

my diff as a tech is 3.50 for nights and 5.00 on weekends (LVNs make this diff as well). Diff for RNs is 4.50/nights and 6.00/weekends.

Charge diff is 2.00.

Wow...I always knew my facility wasn't very competitive in their pay, but now it's glaringly apparent. We get 10% of our base pay for nights. That's it...no weekend, no evenings (we do 12-hour shifts). The facility closer to my home pays even worse (depending on what you make per hour) with a night differential of $2.25 (I make around $27/hr plus my 10% differential so it's more here than at the other place) but I think they may offer a weekend differential.

I am pretty sure for charge it's a $1/hr more and I think for precepting/mentoring an Apprentice Nurse or a New Grad it's also $1/hr more.

10% evening diff

20% night diff

0% for weekends, unless you work the weekend option which is ALWAYS Fri, Sat, Sun and you get 10% extra

Charge gets 10%

No extra pay for precepting new grads, you get a $50 gift certificate for new scrubs and a dinner for 2 at a local rest.

We also work 12 hour shifts, when I work days - I get nothing for my last 4 hours....when I work nights, I get 10% for 3.5 hours and 20% for the remaining hours up to 7:30 a.m. It's weird.
