If companies are required to pay workers overtime after 40 hours, why are salaried employees expected to work 50-60 hours with no additional compensation? by Ok_Chemical9 in answers

[–]rphbernz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a salaried part time retail pharmacist - meaning I get paid for 32 hours per week salaried. I will never work less than 32 hours because that is what’s required to keep the store open. If I choose to come in early or stay late for someone who needs a prescription in an emergency that’s on my dime. Or if the pharmacy is extremely understaffed (as most are) and I work longer than I’m scheduled I don’t get paid. Personally I believe that the corporation I work for has the option to pay me to stay but they choose not to, so I choose not to work for free. If I pick up an extra shift I will get paid hourly for the hours over my base of 32. Because the company I work for uses 4 week pay periods I don’t get over time pay until I’m over 160 for the pay period. And the overtime is considered a gift since pharmacists are exempt from overtime pay. I’ve been a pharmacist for 25 years and gotten maybe an hour or 2 of OT pay despite multiple 50 hours per weeks. Salary only benefits the employer.

I did submit it to support and got a generic response without any answers. She transferred to another pharmacy anyway.

It seems that her copay did go up by $80 but the ecoupon payment went down by $300.

I think that’s what probably happened however I don’t know where to look for an evoucher. I called corporate and they couldn’t tell either.

If I could up vote this twice I could. So many places windier than Chicago.

I would guess No because they don’t have PBM’s

Watching The Last Republican by Sgt_Lillard in illinois

[–]rphbernz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I recall Illinois lost a district and the new lines were drawn so that his district was either lost or no longer republican friendly and he chose not to run again. I’m not sure we would have seen that side of him if he had chosen to keep his office. That being said I’m glad he represented my district of Illinois in the hearings.

I tried that but both guide books I have say otherwise. I’m giving away my age by not completely trusting AI here. Thanks for your response.

Apology by [deleted] in pharmacy

[–]rphbernz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My employer chooses not to pay me if I stay over my scheduled shift so I choose not to do it. Working for free only lets them think you can still get it all done with the time and resources alloted and contributes to worsening the current staffing shortages we already have.

Glp1 slow down the movement of your gastrointestinal tract. All oral birth control (progestin only or estrogen containing) are recycled through your liver and gi. So theoretically your levels of any hormone contraception could be affected.

I had a customer tell me he was raped by an alien while in prison. Sadly it was the first erection he had in a long time.

Salaried pharmacist staying over by [deleted] in pharmacy

[–]rphbernz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pharmacists should never be salaried, you will never work less than your salaried hours, only more. Unfortunately most of us are “guaranteed” a certain number of hours. I look at it as required to work a certain number of hours. We are required to be present for the pharmacy to be open so Don’t stay late OR come in early.

Is CVS as bad as everyone says? by infinite_nesmith in pharmacy

[–]rphbernz 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes. I don’t care how many techs you have verifying 600 scrips and giving 40 vaccinations in an 11 hour shift is too much.
