[Histonet] RE: Re: Working Saturday

[Marcum, Pamela A]

We give a half day during the week for the half day worked on Saturday.  This ended the overtime.   Since we start at 4AM generally the person on call will have some day during the week they want to leave early.  Since we have the schedule up before the first of the month most can make appointments or personal things for that half day.  It cut down on time off during work hours and allowed us to only pay call pay if the person is needed during an overnight.  Our shifts start at 4AM and we close at 4:30PM so they only cove the open hours.

I applaud labs who have moved away from Saturday rotations. But I'm really at a loss to understand how it cuts costs? Don't most of you shift your work week for your staff if filling a Saturday rotation? So long as you don't pay OT for a Saturday, wouldn't the costs be the same?
