[Histonet] Creating a schedule for employees

[Edward Scott]

I have been given a position for another histotech.  My medical director
wants this person to come in at 4:00 AM.  This will increase my staff to 3
full time techs.  I will make the 4th tech.(I am not in the schedule all the
time)  My problem is trying to come up with a schedule that will work with
the third person.  We process about 8,000 cases per year.  She wants at
least 1 tray of biopsies out by 8:30 am.  I would appreciate if anyone could
suggst some possible schedules that they are currently using.  I know that
person will be responsible for coming in early to embed the tissue and start
cutting biopsies.  I feel that coming in at 5:00 am would be better.  Any
help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
