Hiring Freeze, No More Overtime At KGUN Channel 9

KGUN Channel 9 in Tucson has so far not had to lay off any employees, but it is enacting a number of other expense reductions, reports Tucson Weekly.

The station is first eliminating overtime, which had been used “on a regular basis” according to TW, including shift extensions, in which a member of the morning shift stays later and the evening shift arrives earlier to make sure there’s always someone in the newsroom; eliminating overtime for missed lunch breaks; and no longer calling in an hourly employee to replace another that had called in sick.
