Thank you all so much for replying. I went to HR and requested accommodations. I requested advance notice, since I thought if my coworkers were going to float, I should try to do that too to be fair with everyone. My doctor was so amazing and saw me within 1 day to sign all the paperwork. She told me I could request no floating, I told her we could revise in the year. She also mentioned that it might have been illegal what my manager did, and it might be so, but I was not about to start stirring things like that. However, I got a raise of $4 only a few days after I talked to HR. I never had this much increase in one go. Still appreciate it. I do have a PRN job in outpatient surgery center - PACU. I only have been there for 2 months. I want more experience before I can just leave the ER for good. Again, thank you all very much. ?

I never had to reach out to HR, so no, I don't know their schedule. I read my letter which is why I did not know it was a possibility. I read the float policy, it states everyone is required to float except those employees hired at will, which is me. Floating is an issue for me, in another hospital I reached out to HR, they deleted that from my contract and we moved on, Other than that, you are absolutely right. Thank you.

So I need an advice. I was recently transferred to another facility that is basically the same hospital. I was never made aware that staff was required to float between facilities depending on the hospital's needs. I don't recall that on my job description (I already asked for a copy of it and a copy of the policy that states I have to float). Anywho, I requested the transfer because I did not wanted to be there anymore - it is just pure chaos. Anywho, I woke up this morning to a text from my manager telling me to go to the main hospital because there were multiple call ins. For the next part you need to understand, I am autistic, changes at the last minute are not well received. I have a rigid routine. So I see this msg and I go into full blown panic attack- 1. I don't want to go to the place I requested to be transferred out off. 2. I did not know this was a thing (that I have to float). 3. Such short notice. I texted my manager back to let her know I did not feel comfortable doing that. At this point I am bawling, I take a few minutes to compose myself and I call her twice. Time is running out. Not enough time to call out. I don't want to be a no call no show. She finally calls me back. I tell her I don't deal well with change, she cuts me off and tell me basically I either go, or if I don't, then she will report me to HR for refusing an assignment. I felt threatened. There was no sympathy, no compassion, no options. One thing I hate is feeling helpless. I called HR but I guess they are close on Sundays. I cried all the way to the main hospital, and although I was happy to see my coworkers I just was miserable for being there against my will. I checked the policies but I could not find anything that states I have to be floated from hospital to hospital. My question is, what should I do? What would you do in my shoes? Thank you.
