Book of Proposals: MNA Holidays Proposal

MNA Holidays Proposal

• We have proposed adding Juneteenth to our time and a half holiday list and going from three to two floating holidays.
• We have learned in the last year that there is not a consistent approach to what counts as the holiday shift for Christmas and New Year’s across hospital units.
  • The designated holiday shift for Christmas and New Year’s would be the evening shift on December 25 and the evening shift for January 1.
  • For Christmas and New Year’s, no nurse would be required to work the evening shift on both December 24 and 25 or the evening shift on both December 31 and January 1.

Management has its own proposal on this topic. The hospital has identified a similar issue with the designated Christmas and New Year’s holiday shifts and agrees we need a consistent approach.
