The allowance for working experience after five and 10 years has also been adjusted, increasing by 194.4% and 177.8%, respectively. The most noticeable changes involve overtime pay and on-shift allowances, with the percentage of salary and employee benefits being increased more than expected. Overall, these increases are larger than those provided in a report from the USA that stated that wages will have to increase by at least 50% of the present wages by 2016 [23] to retain RNs. The concept of allowance in this modification is expected to increase the time spent working with a consequent increase in salary. One category of rank scheme, the senior specialist nurse, was added to the previous five categories of nurse, senior nurse, specialist nurse, ward manager and supervisor. In addition, two more positions have been added to the old policy. A summary of the old and new policies is shown in Table 2
