Here's what happened....On Sunday at 3:15pm the phone rang and my daughter answered it and it was the day supervisor. She asked, "Where is your mom? She is supposed to be here." I was not at home as I was out preparing for my daughters graduation party(that was planned for over a month). So, my daughter told them that she was certain that I was not on because of the party and because my schedule was on my desk and it didn't say that I was on. Anyways, she hung up still convinced that I was supposed to work 3-11.
Fast forward to Monday at 3pm.....I walk into work and atleast 6 people that I work with are saying things like, "uh oh, where were you yesterday?"....."so you were a no call, no show"...."oh boy, so and so was mad at you because she had to work"...etc....
Then the weekday supervisor calls me in the office and asked me "what happened".....I explained to her that there was no way that I was scheduled to work that day(I work baylor shift and this would of been an extra shift). I do work extra shifts quite often and am scheduled to work this friday and this sunday 3-11 both extra shifts........they are typed in on my printed schedule.....the sunday in question was not.
We get our schedules printed out for the month. Then there is one that is posted in our break room. During the month if they know that they need coverage for certain shifts it is then sometimes penned in on that schedule. Not alway though,so you can't go by that. It is up to the individual to be responsible for knowing when you are picking up extra shifts. Basically, it's my word against the secretary who does the scheduling. I am mad because lastnight, my supervisor(for my regular shifts)handed me a warning slip for me to sign! I glanced at it and saw it say, No call, no show...and I let my anger get the best of me and handed it back to her and said that I wasn't going to sign it.....I didn't read the rest of it, but I'm sure there wasn't anything that supports my claim of not being scheduled. I do know that even though I didn't sign it, it still goes in my work record. I just don't feel that it's fair. I have never ever not showed up for a shift, I do not call out, I am always picking up shifts when they are short etc...........
I want to talk to the DON and I did leave her a brief note asking to talk to her, plus, I suggested that in the future why don't they make out slips that we can sign verifying that we agreed to work the extra shift. I feel that it would help clarify this as it's not the first time this has happened. It the first time for me but others have had this happen to them.
What would you do? Am I making a big deal out of this?
