    HOW TO manage your shift pattern

    Holidays and Absences

    The aim of this 234 page book is to provide you with the tools and techniques to make a shift pattern run smoothly. The main objective of any shift pattern is to ensure you have the right people with the correct skills when and where you want them. The major issues, which are going to prevent you from achieving this objective, are staff holidays and absences. Therefore the two key topics of this book are how to organise staff holidays and staff absences so that they do not effect the operation.

    In this eye-opening book CDT shows us how to effectively manage holidays, absences and create a shift pattern that actually manages itself.

    Key topics covered in this book include: · Calculating How Many Staff You Need · Different Types of Shift Patterns · Holiday Management · Holidays Included Shift Patterns · Holidays Excluded Shift Patterns · Shift Cover Arrangements · Banked Hours · Fatigue and Shift Work · Incorporate Training into your Shift Pattern · Terms and Conditions of Employment · Implementing a New Shift Pattern
