From your link, “About 95 percent of prison nurses worked overtime last year – a higher proportion than for employees of any other state department, including those known for extreme schedules, such as the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the California Highway Patrol and nurses in state mental institutions.
Even temporary employees, supplied by employment agencies called registries, have managed to cash in – earning millions of dollars in overtime paid at up to twice the normal wage.”
Wow, great work if you can get it! 😉
Yeah, especially if you can work the magical 26.5 hours in a single day! (Forget the 24-hour limit that binds mere mortals!)
REllie – Aren’t the prisons pretty much privatized? Or do they only privatize the stuff that makes money like the canteen or the food services, all the while making taxpayers responsible for expenses like payroll?
would the 26+ hours be because of how they configure overtime credits? No matter what, still a great deal for any employee lucky enough to land it! And apparently you get paid for sleeping on the job, too! Niiiiice!
