[quote=Anonymous]Help me decide.
I work part time in healthcare. Basically I must work every other weekend sat and sun 830-430. That is two days every two weeks. Then if I want to pick up shifts on weekdays, I can chose any hours. 
So I have been doing my every other weekend, plus monday -Thursday from 9-1.

So every other week I get paid for 8 days x4 hours=32 plus 14 for weekends, therefore TOTAL 56 hours every 2 weeks. But I work 10 days for that.

I take no extra shifts during summer or holidays etc, just my every other weekend.

So, now we have the choice for 12 hour shifts. Not sure if I should, take it?
I could work 5  12 hour shifts for the same money. My kids are 15 and 13. My husband would have to take over the after school pick ups because there is no busing to the children's school.
Would you take it?
I could choose 12 hours on weekends and short shifts during the week also. 
Weekday shifts can be the hours of my choosing. The shorter shifts allow me to drop off and pick up kids at school.

8 hour shifts are paid for 7 hours
4 hour shifts pay for 4 hours.
12 hours shifts pay for 10.5.
