The Differences Between a Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Nurse Specialist While both Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) are highly educated and experienced in a variety of nursing procedures and practices, the roles remain distinct from one another.
Definition of straight time. 1  1 : the regularly established working time of employees during a standard period (such as a week) excluding time lost through absence or gained through overtime in most industries straight time still exceeds 35 hours a week. 2 : the rate of pay applicable for straight-time work had 40 hours at straight time and 12 hours of overtime pay.
Overtime Premium. An overtime premium refers to the half portion of time-and-a-half or time-and-one-half overtime pay. For example, assume an employee in the production department is expected to work 40 hours per week at $10 per hour.ince salaried employees earn a specified annual amount, it is likely that their gross pay for each pay period is the same recurring amount. For example, if a manager's salary is $48,000 per year and salaries are paid semi-monthly, the manager's gross pay will be $2,000 for each of the 24 pay periods.
