How It Works

Shift differentials compensate nurses for working less desirable shifts. Night differentials typically range 10-20% above base pay, while weekend differentials are 5-15%. Overtime is generally paid at 1.5x base rate after 40 hours/week. Understanding total compensation including differentials helps nurses evaluate job offers and plan finances.
