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?
They already work 5 days 12 hours a week. My guess is some will like 11 more weeks off a year. Personally as a family, I would do it. But I also know with inflation, everyone is hurting financially right now
