Two shifts of R$1,200 can pay very differently per hour. What changes is how long you actually deliver: hours on site, breaks, travel and the deadline until the money arrives. See how to do the math.
Hourly value is the value of the shift divided by the hours worked.
For the final price, the first one seems better. Per hour, the second pays 25% more.
In many shifts the team shares rest. If you spent 12 hours in the hospital but 3 of them were breaks, you may want to look at just the 9 actual hours:
Both views are useful. On-site hours show how much of your day the shift takes up. Effective hours show how much the job itself pays.
A hospital 1 hour away costs 2 hours of your day, round trip. To compare locations:
A shift that pays less on paper may yield more in the end.
Receiving in 30 days is not the same as receiving in 90. In addition to waiting time, frequently delayed shifts require collection, checking and patience. When comparing two places with the same hourly rate, choose the one you pay on time. Write down the agreed date of each shift to know who fulfills it.
Many places pay different amounts per shift. To avoid mixing everything into one average:

Divide the value of the shift by the hours worked. A 12-hour shift for R$1,200 works out to R$100 per hour.
It depends on what you want to compare. With breaks discounted, you can see how much the actual working hour pays; without discount, how much of your day does the shift take up.
Add the commute to the hours on shift, compare the resulting hourly rate and take into account the deadline and punctuality of payment.
