ShiftMed - Nursing Jobs App

I’ve been Travel Nurse for 36 years This company had me sign up for an orientation shift, but I was not notified that orientation shifts are not eligible for next day pay. I’m currently in a disaster in which lost power were damaged 500,000 We had 90 tornadoes in my state 90 We have no power, we have no water we have no food and we have no date of restoration I went to do an orientation shift told that orientation shifts are in eligible for next day pay. I went there because nobody can work and nobody can access their bank right now because there’s no power. you would have to travel over 30 miles in order to find a place with a working ATM In a disaster, companies, and hotels price go so it’s quite expensive to be a disaster Victim When I got to the hospital, I could not connect to the Internet. I immediately called and I had to leave a message and nobody called me back. Finally got a connection at 1 AM and the Customer Service rep told me to punch in and when I punch out and asked for next pay Imagine I worked all Shift expecting to get paid so food and water during this disaster and being told urine eligible So they tell me it’s in the handbook Once again, I had to reiterate, we don’t have any power so you can’t log onto the internet They don’t care about Nurses because if they did they would’ve at least let me have the conversation with the payroll supervisor. These are different circumstances. Any other healthcare facility would listen and make sure their Nurses are okay. Not ShiftMed. You have to wait two weeks to get paid Two weeks Because the hospital or the lack of Internet services in the disaster area, I was not provided with the logons that I needed. Orientation is only on Tuesdays the House Supervisor because of the lack of logins is making me do another orientation shift I get that. The nurse oriented couldn’t even sign off on an orientation sheet because I did not receive the email with that information So here I am in a disaster in which 500,000 homes were dessimated. The Customer Service agent said they’re not allowed to escalate things to a payroll supervisor The last compassionate and empathy Any other healthcare facility would have listened and had a conversation and recognize the veracity of this and would make sure the nurse is OK So now if I go back and do another orientation shift, I have to wait another two weeks to get paid If if I pick up a shift at another hospital, it’s an orientation shift and I would have to wait two weeks to get paid The fact that they’re not even willing to have the conversation and turned their back on their Nurses is a big warning I would not work for them. I would not credential with them. There’s a company called Shiftmed. I’ve never had a problem with them and they do not have the same problem of having to wait for two weeks to get paid Nurses don’t work for free get paid in a timely manner The fact that they won’t even have a conversation with the payroll supervisor is a demonstration that their nurses are just a warm body We’re making money for them there’s no concern for their Nurses Don’t do it No one told me I had to wait two weeks or else I never would’ve went They said it’s in the handbook and I had to remind them. I’m in a dis we have no power we have no Internet, so it doesn’t matter if it’s in the handbook if I can’t access it because of the devastation I’m gonna work for Shiftmed well you don’t have to wait for two weeks to get paid Even if this company pays you next day or instant, they only give you 60% then you have to wait two weeks to get the other 40% It’s really too much to keep track of I don’t really even know the reasoning for only giving 60% This is a bad company
