Hi Amber, I have a Holiday Rotation List that I use for my staff. I started the list off with "seniority", but then everytime a tech uses PTO around a holiday (either before or after), they go to the bottom of the list for that holiday. This ensures that all techs have a chance to take off and it's equal for everyone.
There are some techs that ask for holidays every year, but I post the holiday rotations and they know they might not get it. Even though they asked 6 months in advance, they have to wait to see if the techs at the top of the list will be utilizing PTO for that particular holiday. If not, they can have it off... And then go to the bottom of the list again. I update the rotation list every year and post it... It's helped a lot with holiday fairness. I can send you the form if you would like... Just so you can see what I'm talking about. Hope this helps, Karen Karen L.

I have 2 employees that have asked off already (jan 3rd) for every day they want off for the entire year! 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? _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
