Shift Swap and Work Brain
When working a double shift on a shift swap, you are scheduled to work 15.5 hours. If you choose to work one shift and take a vacation day on the other shift you will be coded 8 hours vacation and 7.5 hours worked.
This is a system wide issue. I am filing a grievance but the outcome is unknown.
If you choose to take a vacation day in conjunction with a shift on a swap I would recommend you only work 7.5 hours until this is resolved.
