![]() "bdl" wrote in message oups.com... I'll admit I don't know what the "standard" shifts are. Nor, the turnaround between shifts. But I would assume they aren't working doctors hours, or anything similar. Please enlighten me as to typical work shifts. No, they're not working doctors hours. If they were working doctors hours they'd probably be provided beds for naps like doctors are. I believe most facilities still work on a seven week rotation. Two evening shifts, followed by two day shifts, followed by two days off, then repeat. That's six days so your two days off advance by one day each week. It's juggled a bit when the two days off are on a weekend so that there's two natural weekends off in a row. That's the schedule for a facility that closes at night. At 24 hour facilities you'll get a day-mid. Come in at about six AM and then back that same day about 10 PM. If they are drowsy on shift, maybe they shouldn't be on shift. Agreed. What solution would you recommend? Allow naps while on break? Send drowsy employees home on leave? Fire them? |
