Wage Freeze

[dabowhunter]

My hospital anounced this week that there will be a 18 month freeze on wages and bouses. They also are eliminating reimbursment for conferences etc. This they say is due to the ecomony. I can understand it partly,

but why not call it an indefinite time period instead of 18 months. Any other hospitals doing like wise

We also have had a hiring/transfer freeze. No more overtime is also a new thing which started the first of this year.

It's funny because we're still getting our bonuses...patient satisfaction and handwashing bonuses. We basically get bonuses for everything...A $100 bucks here and there never hurt!
