dchampigny Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 For those of you who work per diem/hourly, if you were hypothetically asked to cover a shift with virtually no notice, what do you think differential should be? Do you make more on holidays? I work at an urgent care and was asked to cover a shift same day for about 4 hours after my regular day in family medicine was over. If this were you, would you ask for more on top of what you usually make due to having to change plans/adapt your life to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted January 21, 2018 Administrator Share Posted January 21, 2018 Depends on the overall job. If it was just once, I'd probably do it, then negotiate an "in the future..." for next time. $5-10/h bump for such a thing isn't much overall if it's just occasional, so it might be enough to keep them from abusing you..

Cideous Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Ask for that where I work and they will just replace you with one of the other 50 people standing in line to take your Urgent Care job.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beattie228 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I get a differential for anything after 4P (10%), weekends (10%) and holidays (1.5X). I don't get one for a short notice request. If those asks became a norm or I felt obligated to always come in on short notice, I'd probably negotiate a $5-10 increase but a one off request is just that, in my opinion.

Yeah, I'd rather move to the boonies than stay in a saturated market like that. Probably get fired for not giving ABX on demand, too, wouldn't you?

Moderator EMEDPA Posted January 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2018 at my last job we got 15/hr extra to cover a doc or pa shift on short notice. at my current job it's straight pay, but it is a small group so we are tight and like to help each other out. what goes around comes around.
