We have been told by management that at the start of the year the medics are getting a $5/hr pay raise.
I think AMR is finally starting to realize that they will actually save money by trying to keep people with the company and that means paying them much better.
If you can keep 100% of the units staffed with full timers at a higher pay rate then you can cut down on the double time that you are having to pay people to work extra. Heck right now people have been getting double time and a half for a full 12 hours for only working a 6 hour shift.
