Holiday Schedule

[homehealthsup]

I am new to scheduling staff. How do you schedule holidays. I am looking for a fair way. Please advice!

The problem we seem to be having this year is that we have so many part-time nurses. Most of them are saying they have to work Christmas or New Years at their other place of work and can not work it at our place. I understand that I have to work Christmas, but someone better be checking to see that these nurses are truly working at their other part-time position. Starting next year they are going to start the policy that part-time people are given an A or B schedule for holidays, but it is too late for this holiday season.

Love the idea of rotating holidays. Works with eves and nocs doing the eve of the holiday and the holiday BUT what do you do with 12 day shifts? Any thoughts??? Thanks

I put up the sign up sheet for the holiday 2 months in advance. If you worked it last year you can be off this year, If you want to split a shift that if fine.

most places I've worked put up the sign-up for holidays just after the new year, this let people sign up for what they want and then the scheduler make sure it all works
