So do you pay the over time because of a union or to keep a union out? The readers here will find out the truth about retail comparedd to hospital. The truth is it has always paid more in retail than in hospital. Now it MIGHT be different in California. I don't know. California is different from almost everyother state. So it really doesn't matter if we take different positions the truth will get to them when they apply for jobs. And the truth will be hospitals pay less than retail. The work environmnet is less stressful than retail. So lets ask the folks whatr they have seen. Does hospital pay the same as retail?
ZpackSux said:Don't let the common belief of "retail pays more" fool ya. Year and half ago, chain grocery stores were paying $48.50 per hour. I started our hospital pharmacists @ $52 per hour and $60 per hour for per diem. I had the staff work 8 hours and paid them for 10 hours. Last 2 hours, they received 1.5X due to over time. Couple that with 10% differential for evening and 10% differential for the weekend...and 1 weekend every 5 to 6 weeks, this hospital staff job rocked....
