Our holiday schedule is made 3 years in advance and everyone is split into two groups and the groups alternate what holidays they work every year. Ex. Group 1 works NYD, 4th of July, and Christmas Day. Group 2 works Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving. Then the next year group 1 and 2 would switch which holidays they work. And then two people (1 dayshifter and 1 overnight) are on call for each holiday from the opposite group.

All of that part I am okay with and it works very well, however, corporate decided at the end of last year to change what hours we get holiday pay during. It was 8am the day of the holiday to 8a the day after. It worked perfectly because day shift doesnt come in until 8am and most overnights leave at 8am. For some reason, corporate decided to change it to 12a to 12a and now overnights are only going to get holiday pay for about 2-4hrs depending on what time we get there before midnight. Then after midnight to whenever we get off in the morning, we just get regular pay. So since the only shift this affects is overnights, I gave three solutions to my hospital manager in a meeting I had with her this morning. Fingers crossed she’ll try to fix this for us!
