Season 1 Episode 5: The Overworked Pharmacist - The Person Behind the Counter
No breaks, no overtime, no rights
pharmacy is one of the few professions that is exempt from labour laws
8 hour shifts with no breaks? What about 16 hours? Unfortunately, neither of these occurrences are uncommon. You might see your pharmacist eating on the job, which may seem unprofessional, but the reality is that they don’t get a lunch break. This week Off the Script brings to light the gruelling work environment of community pharmacy and why working as a community pharmacist is not all that it may seem to be.
