    Of for sure. But if you could legally double your salary with a few planned decisions like clocking in a little early and a little late…. Wouldn’t you?

    Regardless of her own personal choices, The management of the hospital really should have fixed their time clock and fixed their overtime policy long before anybody figured out how to abuse it. But, those policies were left over from Covid when they were just happy to have staffing.

      It wasn’t legal.

      If management didn’t know about the problem, how could they fix it?

        It’s legal. Technically they threw out all policy about overtime during Covid. She didn’t steal anything. She just made sure to have over a certain number of house of overtime so that her final shift would push over a certain amount and she’d get double time for the entire shift and then she would stay over like 3 hours. She’d do this every week. And with the overtime rates at the time she was getting like $200/hr.

        It kinda sucks for the other nurses though, because she put that floor wwaaaayyy over budget and they (the floor manager) got hit for it, which trickles down.

        Crappy situation.

            You could say that, yes.

            Quite a number of the nurses were taking advantage of the situation, but none of them like that. No one really cares if you grab an hour or two extra a week. Even if all you do is run some meds, they have the money.
