Easter??

I work on Easter this weekend, and I was just wondering if most hospitals pay extra for this holiday or not?
mine does not.

Not a paid holiday at our hospital.

Quote from BacktotheBeachmine does not.

Easter is a religious holiday. With most employers (not just healthcare ones) looking to decrease benefits, most are going to the federally-recognized ones only.

It falls on a weekend, so the chances of it getting extra pay is almost nil anyway. No extra pay here.

No, but all the clinics and off campus places close on Good Friday.

Good Friday is time and a half in Canada.

I don't get the difference between Easter and Christmas-seems to me you can't recognize one and not the other,they are both religious holidays....

I've never known anywhere to pay holiday pay for Easter. While Christmas is also a religious holiday, it's recognized as a federal holiday. Easter isn't. It didn't count as anything as far as a holiday was concerned when I worked in the hospital. Those who were scheduled for that weekend worked it, didn't matter how many holidays you'd already worked this year or if you'd worked Easter in years past. Just another Sunday in the hospital world. The only holidays that counted as holidays worked were Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day for summer and Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's Day for winter. We had other paid holidays (MLK Jr Day, Presidents' Day, Patriots Day, Veterans' Day) but it was never a problem to find people to work those days for time and a half so a big deal wasn't made about them either.

I used to work every other Easter.
