The calculation of shift differentials can vary depending on the hospital or healthcare facility policies. Common approaches include:
Flat Rate: A fixed additional amount per hour worked during the differential period. Percentage: A percentage increase on the base hourly wage for hours worked during the differential period.
For example, a nurse earning $30 per hour might receive an additional $5 per hour for night shifts or a 10% increase, making their hourly rate $33 during those hours.
