Please Explain Every Other Weekend Schedule

Hi everyone , I know there are topics out there on this but I'm still not understanding this. I apologize for this stupid question . There is a job I am applying for that says "part time, 40 hrs a week, 8hr shifts, every other weekend . " Can someone give me a sample schedule of how this would work ? Thank you!

    In a two week time frame you will work 10 eight hour shifts. Maybe off sun, work mon, tues, wed, off thurs, work fri, sat, sun, then tues-fri, off Saturday.

    You would be working a rotation of inconsistent days:

    • Work Mon-Tues-Wed
    • Off Thurs
    • Work Fri-Sat-Sun
    • Off Mon-Tues
    • Work Wed-Thurs
    • Off Fri-Sat-Sun

    How is it part time, but 40 hours a week?

    It isn't that difficult. Every other weekend off means you do not work every other weekend. If you work this weekend then the weekend after that you don't work and the cycle continues.

    Not necessarily, granted it was 10 years ago, but when I worked 8 hour shifts in the hospital, I had a set schedule.

    Week 1:

    Work Sunday, Monday

    Off Tuesday

    Work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

    Off Saturday

    Week 2:

    Off Sunday

    Work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

    Off Thursday

    Work Friday, Saturday

    Repeat every 2 weeks.

    Thanks everyone. I made a mistake . It's 40hrs every two week's. I understand it now. Also to answer LM NY, I understand that you work one weekend and off the next, it rotates. I just wondered how the weekdays would work but, it was also probably vary by facility .

    Thanks again everyone !

    In the old days and one assumes even now unless one was hired differently weekends were rotated. It was a way of being *fair* since weekends were *NOT* up everyone's street. *LOL*

    Major holidays (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day, Thanksgiving and day after...) would either be rotated as well or based upon seniority and or whomever put in first.

    There is a chance your weekdays off will be consistent and times they will not be. Don't forget the days people go away on vacation. A set schedule is so much easier to manage so you can schedule appointments and know ahead of time when you are free.
