My business runs 24/7. Most of my employees are working 60 hours a week. As you can guess the overtime is expensive. I am wondering if I could bump up their pay some and go to more of a 4/12 shift. I just have a feeling the younger employees just are not as motivated by money. But where the sweet spot pay wise is the magic question. They feel better, work less, and the business isn’t paying as much in overtime. Have any of you experimented with this with any success?
I haven’t but I know people who work a 4 day/12 hour shift and they do like it a lot. It’s not for everybody. So, I’d talk to your folks first before going to it. You may get some that like it and some that don’t.
Thank you
