40/hr in the Midwest

We pay about 20% extra for an evening over a day and about 40% extra for a night over a day. Slightly reduced it recently because too many docs wanted the night shifts. So if we have a month where we make $250 an hour, the day shift might pay $200 an hour and the night shift might pay $300 an hour.

The highest I've ever seen was 1 weekend night shift = 2.2 weekday day shifts. My current gig has a much lower differential.

I like WCI's group's approach - raise the night shift differential until people are fighting for night shifts, adjust as needed.

Currently, an extra night shift = 1.5 days and there's a $20/hr add-on for all hours between 6p and 6a.

$40/hr minimum I think at $50 it becomes more attractive. at my shop its $60 with no takers. I think it depends on what you make. If you make $150/hr that $40 is tempting. If you are making $300/hr the $60 isnt so good.

Each of us nocturnists worked out a different deal, depending on what was important to us: fixed schedule, less shifts/month, working at one location (we have a few sites to cover usually), or a higher pay rate. Otherwise, there's no shift differential and nights are distributed fairly evenly among the rest of the docs. There is a reduction in night shifts when you get to be old (i.e. >55 y/o) and have seniority (i.e >15 yrs in our system), or something like that. I'm nowhere near that option yet so I don't know the exact details. FYI: I work at an academic facility with multiple sites and almost 50 docs in our collective group of faculty.

We pay an extra $90/hr for nights. Used to be $60/hr. EM docs now understand how valuable they are. I would pay $150/hr for night to avoid them.

This is probably the biggest negative of my SDG. There are 8 of us and none of us are interested in picking up more nights. We pay a $50/hr diff but I too would be happy to pay much more to avoid nights. That said, I don't know if there is truly a number that would influence any of my partners to increase their shifts. It may be something we revisit soon though.

There is a price, I assure you. 3 nights a month beat 15 day shifts.

Lately I've been wondering what differential would get me to sign on for nights only out of residency. 10 shifts/ month instead of 15? Maybe. would definitely take a shift reduction over pay increase if I had to pick (I.e. 10 shift/month at standard annual rate over 15 shifts/month at 30% more than standard annual rate).
