When doing shift trades, can you?

Just curious, when doing shift trades, can you do a trade outside the specific pay period? for example, work for someone this period and they do a shift for you 2 months down the road?

    It can be done where I am. You would have to ask your manager, however, how it works where you are.

    Often, the answer is no. That set up usually gives both employees a full shift of overtime despite no extra hours worked. It may be approved very occasionally, though.

    We can only do that for trading holidays, but that's more of an answer your scheduler would know. Every hospital has different policies

    Another reason it might not be allowed is to prevent people who are planning to leave soon from arranging a whole bunch of switches that are good for them right now -- and then not fulfilling their end of the bargain when their turn to "pay it back" comes along in 2 months. "Oh sure, I'll work that shift for you in 2 months if you will just do me this favor next week" ... and then not be there in 2 months to work the shift as promised.

    In my experience, you can switch weekends or holidays but you'll have to either use PTO or make up the additional hours somewhere else in the pay period - and you can't generate overtime unless approved.

    For example, you and I can switch Thanksgiving and Christmas, but that doesn't mean I'm working overtime, I just will have a different day off than Thanksgiving.

    But it all depends on policy.
