Streamlining Staffing Solutions: How Marie Saved 50% on Covering a 3-Week Staff Leave for a Pharmacy
Marie decides to use Dispense Assist to replace a dispensary technician wanting to take 3 weeks annual leave, avoiding the need to try to find a replacement for such a long period of time, whilst saving 50%.
Helen is a dispensary technician working at Marie's pharmacy Mon-Fri 8:30am-5pm with an unpaid 1hr lunch break. Helen plans to take 3 weeks annual leave next month. Marie decides to use a Dispense Assist Technician (Basic) - exclusive use to replace Helen instead of trying to find a casual dispensary technician for such a long period of time. Marie would normally pay her casual dispensary technicians the award rate.
