finally discovered why i was often being sent home on call.
our manager plays favorites.
full time employees get 3 12-hour shift per week, then any additional shifts are paid overtime.
on studying our schedules, i discovered that some suck ups get 5 to 6 shifts per week--and they are all labelled as regular shifts, not extra shifts.
i get my standard 3 shifts per week.
problem is, they usually send me home more than the other nurses--i'm using up my ptos just to be able to pay my rent.
what sucks is these suck ups i work with brag about going on vacations in asia and europe.
a coworker asked our manager regarding this disparity, and was told that the extra shifts are being paid straight rates, not overtime rates.
now we all know this is bovine ordure.
payment is being handled by payroll, not our manager. this means the suck ups are being paid overtime, while i'm using up my ptos.
this also means that our manager is lying.
now i don't have any problems with respecting seniority. but when this seniority is not being applied across the board, and when this seniority is at the expense of other employees, then i don't agree with it.
i have asked personnel about this disparity--they said they weren't aware of it, as their software takes a long time to load one employee's schedule--so it would be impossible to cross-check all scheduled personnel's record to see who should be sent home on call.
my question is, who can i approach regarding this issue?
can i file a complaint with the state?
a simple investigation of the pay slips and work record should expose this anomaly, but is this possible?
can this be done anonymously?
with all the shenanigans going on, i wouldn't be surprised if our manager will suddenly find a lot of things to complain about me, once she discovers i complained to the state.
