Phu's Pharmacy: How He Saved up to 50% on Overtime Rates
Phu avoids paying overtime rates and pays just $15.33/hr instead of up to $67.18/hr for a pharmacist, a saving of 77%
Mary is a pharmacist who normally works at Phu's pharmacy on a Friday night 5pm-10pm. Mary plans to have her Friday shift off in 2 weeks' time.
Helen, the Friday daytime pharmacist, offers to stay back on that Friday and work overtime. Helen is employed full-time as an "Experienced Pharmacist" at the award rate. Rather than paying overtime rates, Phu decides instead to use a Dispense Assist Technician (Advanced) - exclusive use.
