[Histonet] RE: time off

[Amber McKenzie]

How do you handle PRN's?  If they turn in time off do you grant them before the FT staff or don't worry about their days since they are fill in people?  Do PRN's count as having 1 person off at a time along with the FT staff if you only allow 1 person off per day?

We also have a policy on the number of people that can be off during peak times. Our vacation schedule runs from June to June of the following year. Staff have up until a deadline of January 31 to put in their request for the next vacation year, whether it is one day or weeks. The requests handed in by this time period are granted based on seniority. ( in our institution they figure it's one of the only perks to being a senior!) After the January 31 deadline it is first come first serve. All vacation requests must be submitted on a vacation request form and time stamped when handed in. This way if two people ask for the same day the person who handed it in with an earlier time stamp is granted the time off.
All of this is written in our scheduling guidelines. It seems to work pretty well.

For example, our staff can only have a maximum of two weeks off during the peak summer time, and no more that 2 days off during the last two weeks of December. I personally have no problem with staff requesting time off early in the year, but I do ask that they discuss with their coworkers before giving me the request.

Do you grant them the days off since no one else has asked off yet, or tell them it's not fair to continuously get off around every holiday by asking off  5 - 12 months in advance?
