Night Program Guidelines
• As part of the program, participants must commit to working to the maximum of their 
budgeted shifts based on FTE status as off-shift hours (12-hour blocks such as 3 p.m. to 
3 a.m., 4 p.m. to 4 a.m., etc. or 8-hour blocks such as 11 p.m to 7 a.m, etc.). 
• Eligible participants will receive an additional $2 per hour night program differential, on 
top of their hospital’s current off-shift differential, for night hours worked as part of the 
program. 
o This $2 will be given on top of the new, market-competitive shift differentials. 
• Any additional worked day shifts (meetings, competencies, additional overtime shifts) will 
be paid without the night program differential. 
• Laboratory Professionals who work rotating night shifts as part of their schedule, but are 
not participants in the night program, will not receive the additional $2 differential. 
• All PTO (paid time off) requests must continue to be approved, in advance, by the 
participant’s unit director/manager, and the night program differential will not be applied 
to the hourly rate paid for PTO. 
• Business unit leaders will determine the appropriate number of program participants 
based on business unit and department needs. 

Night Program Eligibility
• Eligible participants must be in a laboratory professional role in a regular full-time or part-time status, and work in a department that requires 24-hour on-site coverage. 
• Laboratory professionals who have completed their orientation period and have at least 
six-months of experience are eligible to participate. 
• Eligible participants must have a performance rating of Solid/Strong/Good to enter the 
program and not received any corrective action within the last six months. Maintaining a 
Solid/Strong/Good rating will be required to remain in the program. New employees are 
able to enter the program at the time of hire.
• If a participant resigns or is removed from the program for not meeting the night program 
guidelines, they are not permitted to return to the program for one calendar year. 
• If a participant does not work steady night shifts, they are not eligible to receive the 
additional differential and their participation will be evaluated for removal from the 
program. 
• There is no impact to medical benefits, short-term disability (STD), long-term disability 
(LTD), PTO, or tuition reimbursement as part of this program.
