Weekend Requirements

Featured Replies

Every place I've ever interviewed it was discussed during the interview. If they don't bring it up I think it's perfectly acceptable to ask, and also to ask about holidays.

    Everywhere I have worked you are required to work four weekend shifts every month, two major holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years) and two minor holidays (Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day). Seniority had no role in it; everyone had the same requirement.

    Work every other weekend.

    Alternate weekends is normal in most inpatient environments I've ever worked, nothing to do with seniority or length of service.

    Our Sunday hours come with an enhanced rate of pay. Each whole Sunday worked (12 hours) gets me an extra €130 ($155 US), so on a regular month with 2 weekends I'm up €260 ($310).

    When I worked in the UK Saturday hours were enhanced too (+ 33%) and Sunday hours were +66%. That was back in the good old days and I believe it's less generous there now.
