The shift differentials for RNs are:

Shift 2 Evening Differential ($2.50) is from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM

Shift 3 Night Shift ($3.50) is from 11:00pm- 6:59am

Weekend Differential ($4.75) runs 7pm Friday to 7am Monday.

Weekend day is from 7am to 3pm on Sat and Sunday.
Weekend Eve is 3pm to 11pm Saturday and Sunday.
Weekend night is 11pm to 7am Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night.

Shift and weekend differentials do stack if you were to work weekend evening or weekend night.

▪ Employees who work from 7:00 PM on Sundays to 7:30 AM, will only see 11:30 hours of Weekend differential.
