Subject: [Histonet] Working on Saturday

We are a 450 bed hospital.  Due to our size and volume of work, our work week is Monday-Saturday. Because of healthcare reform, budget cuts and staffing shortage, we are faced with closing the department on Saturday (!!Histotechs are happy!!). One tech will continue to come in on Saturday to process any breast specimens received.   I am curious to find out what is the norm concerning working on Saturdays.  How many other Histology departments work on Saturday?  Thanks in advance for your opinions!
