Weekends and On call(if any)
• Rotate weekend call every four weeks, call utilized to fill evening/night staffing holes M-R and is evenly distributed among team. Typical call shifts are 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours. Every attempt is made to not schedule more than 60 hours of work and call combined in a week.

The way the call works here is for all staff to take two evening/night shifts per week. These can range from 2-12 hour call shifts. We rotate who takes the longer shifts and who has the shorter shifts, so it is as fair as possible. For the weekends the expectation is that all staff take two weekend shifts per month. These call shifts range from 8-12 hour shifts and include both days and nights. And we do try not to schedule anyone for more than 60 hours of work and call per week.
