Revolutionizing Pharmacy Operations: How Amanda Saved over $57k a Year with Dispense Assist
Amanda pays just $15.33/hr instead of $40/hr and saves over $57,000 a year on a single Mon-Fri 9-5 full-time pharmacist, which is a saving of 58%, plus saves 100% on all additional employee costs, whilst increasing the value of her pharmacy by over $350,000
One of the pharmacists who Amanda employs is named Jordan, who is employed as an "Experienced Pharmacist" under the Pharmacy Industry Award (PIA). Jordan is a permanent (non-casual) employee working at the rate of $40/hr. Jordan's normal hours are Monday-Friday 9am-5pm with 1/2hr unpaid meal break - 37.5hrs per week. Amanda decides to replace Jordan with a Dispense Assist Technician (Advanced) - exclusive use over the same hours.
