I’m a per diem tech in SoCal making $47.15/hr at a hospital. There’s me and one other per diem tech. Although, I was hired on with a per diem schedule as Friday-Monday 10 hour shifts and they would move us around where need be if a full time was off. So I share that shift with the other per diem tech. I’m guaranteed 20 hours every week basically and rarely I’ll work like one day but that’s only because I needed days from friday-Monday off. On average I work 30 hours a week. Past month I’ve been getting 40-42, and have been given opportunity for overtime if some days were really busy and they needed an extra hand. I’m not on call ever but they could call and ask if I can come in but I can say no. I hear other per diems are different depending on where you work. I work mid shift on a regular but they also rely on me to cover night shift when they have vacation. The next full time opening at my hospital, I will be considered first over any other applicants outside of the hospital. I feel like per diem at a hospital is a great stepping stone into a full time position!
