Starting in 2018, if you work over 44 hours a week, you will no longer be eligible for "premium pay"

Starting in 2018, if you work over 44 hours a week, you will no longer be eligible for "premium pay" and you'll just earn your hourly rate. Wonder what it was ever like a few years ago when pharmacists actually got time and a half for OT. Long gone now

NO WAY, they cant do that?

People who work overtime enjoy their days off too. 🙄

There is hardly any incentive now; use to be 5$/hour differential, then cut back 5$ differential only from 12am-7am hours, now down to $2 differential but all hours

lol, they'll be struggling to find people to work those extra shifts in lots of districts (non major cities obv.)

The "premium pay" was already a pittance. I wonder how much cost savings they are really going to see by doing this. If pharmacists were smart they would refuse to pickup any shifts until until they reverse this decision.

Blah blah "new grads" blah blah "200k+ loans" blah blah "lucky to even have a job" etc.

For me it was more of an ego thing even if only 6$. Knowing I was earning ten times what I did ten years ago was motivating to rake in more hours and money.
I miss CVS sometimes. So many vacant shifts...even more coming soon

Kinda jealous....we don't have many vacant shifts here.
