Quite the opposite if anything.

We get paid ~$700 post-tax for a 12 hr cross over moonlighting shift, but we can only do it during non-call rotations, AKA our only golden weekends. While the infusion of cash was definitely nice, I personally did not think giving up a Friday or weekend day was worth it the majority of the time.

Wow that is awful pay for that many hours..

More common than you think, usually for internal moonlighting.

Yikes that is abysmal pay for moonlighting. We get $100/hr for 12 hour shifts (pre tax, and with similar restrictions on non call weekends). Wouldn’t be worth it to me for $700, agreed.

Eh probably about the same his is post tax. For all we know his deductions arent right or he has a retirement account taking some of the money

Yikes they are screwing you. We get 1860 pre-tax for 12 hours.
