RE: Hazard Pay



Title: Message
Jack
 
Our service pays 25.00 per flight on top of your hourly rate.  It was devised 19 years ago as a way for the medic/nurse to buy life insurance, etc.  Now, since it is virtually impossible to to buy supplemental insurance if you are a flight team member, they have additionally added an automatic doubling of the flight crew member's hospital provided life insurance policy right from them, at no cost.
 
We do take 4 call shifts every matrix (2 months) and are paid 2 bucks an hour when on call.  If we are called in, we are guaranteed 2 hours pay, whether we get to the hospital and are used for an hour or sent right home, whatever.  All hours worked while called back (including the automatic 2 ) are paid at callback rate which is 1.5x  whether we are at 40 for the week or not.

Subject: Hazard Pay

I am new to this list so this might be something talked about recently, if so let me know.
 
I am conducting a survey of programs that pay some type of hazard pay to staff.  I am mainly looking at hospital based programs that pay the flight staff a transport diff over what other staff of the same credentials would make in another area of the hospital. 
 
Also, I would be interested to know if you have staff on call from home, are they paid for this time and if so at what rate?
 
Thanks for the information,
