Sorry, I guess I can't PM yet, so I am going to repond to everyone.

Here were my rules:

1. Every employee must work the number of days that they were hired for each week. (and hired shift)

2. Each employee must work every other weekend.

3. The blank schedule was posted and removed within one week (same time every month). If someone didn't fill it out, I did it for them. You must fill out your OWN schedule

4. Requested days off needed PTO slips.

5. No changes after the schedule was posted. You chose it you work it!

Most people scheduled themselves the same every month, and the call offs got cut in half. Also I got alot more employees after it started as word of mouth spread.

didn't solve all the problems but did help. I was scared to death to try but for me it worked.

Might be worth a try

I'm an aide in a LTC facility...My boss, the DNS, fills out our schedule...Most of us have set schedules...Nice most of the time, except the same aides get every weekend off, same for the nurses...OH wells...This will actually work in my favor when I go back to school (September)...Anyways the rules our you can call out one day, if you call out the second day a dr.'s note is required and you get paid sick time. If you call out on the weekend a dr.'s note is required. If you call out the day before, day of, or day after a holiday you don't get holiday pay.
