Shift and weekend differentials- what are yours?

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.

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.

My hospital offers a 10% differential for 3-11 and 15% for nights. NO differential for weekends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:angryfire And we work every other weekend. This is one of the MAIN reasons Im LOOKING :uhoh21: . Also I work 7a-7p and we do not get ANY more $$ for the last 4 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!

No charge diff that I know of.

3-11 is $4/hr

11p-7a is $6/hr

Weekends 7a-7p you get 1.5x your base rate

Weekends 7p-7a you get 1.67x base rate.

Do you see why I work weekend option??

$6 weekends

$2.50 or 3.50 for nights, not sure which off the top of my head.

3-11= $3

11-7 =$4

weekends for nights is 3-11=$7, 11-7= $8. Our weekend diff starts at 11pm friday until 11pm sunday. i can't remember what 7a-3p gets on the weekends.

CNA union hospital

10% differential for eves

15% differential for nocs

2.5% differential for weekends

Where are you?

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.

Melanie = )

the ones I know about:

$10/hr nights

none for days

none for weekends

$1/hr to float

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.

Wow, I knew my hospital stunk in the bene dept but it has the suckiest differentials posted yet!

Technically there is a 1.00 diff for evenings, but everyone works 12's, and you don't get anything extra for the last 4 hours (3-7pm).

Nites get 2.00/hr.

Weekends, nothing extra, but we do have a weekend program, they get time and a half for Fri after 3pm thru sunday, only no vacation or sick time, and can only take one weekend off every six months. Believe it or not, they actually get people to work it!!!!

Nothing extra for precepting, not even a meal ticket.

50 cents an hour for charge.

Nothing extra for working holidays, not even an extra day off. It's supposedly calculated into the total ETO, which you get to use when they call you to stay home on availability.
