Who works Christmas??

No schedule yet. But, I don't think I will this year. I sneaked a peek at the penciled in tentative version.

We're contractually required to work either Christmas or New Year's Day every year. Our contract actually says that we must work both the 24th and 25th or the 25th and 26th, or the 31st and 1st. And we alternate. Our staffing manager keeps track of who worked what last year and makes the schedule according to that. It's my turn to work New Year. I'm working the 22nd, the 26th and 27th and the 31st and 1st. In the event that our census is low (highly unlikely) all the names go into a hat and the manager draws the lucky person to get the shift off.

I have been on the night shift for almost a year and I will be working Christmas Eve of course!

We alternate major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year) so this year I am off!
