KCLum

Our hospital has recently started a baylor program (work 2 12s on the weekend and get paid for 36 hours) and we are still ironing out the kinks. Our policy is that the baylors work every weekend with an allowance for four weekends off for vacation, no more than 2 sick days/yr, and a holiday requirement of 2 extra shifts per year during the week. These would be at regular time. My gripe is that so many holidays normally fall on the weekend, or are celebrated on the weekend each year that the baylors are already doing their share of the holidays, not counting the years when Christmas and New Years etc fall on the weekend. I am interested in how other hospitals are doing this. Specifically the extra holiday during the week part. Please let me know what you think! Thank you!
