So our workplace has been short on people, which is a shock since the medical field is short on people in general. So to help our job has been offering “proactive pay” for agreeing to pick up an extra shift a week. So instead of three 12 hour shifts, we do 4 with the extra day being double pay.
Except…all our proactive shifts are being put on our 4th day. So basically while day 4 is at double pay, it's basically just guaranteed overtime pay plus a little more. This would mean so much more if the proactive day was 1 thru 3 of the week, but they aren't going to do that.
Unfortunately I need this specific job's insurance since it pays for certain medical needs. But chalk up one more way the medical field abuses it's workers yet wonders why there is such a shortage. As soon as I got my degree I am so out of this field and that day can't come soon enough.
