They overstaff on the schedule to ensure they have enough people, then if everyone shows up there's a list to follow to cancel aides and send them home. You can choose to refuse to be canceled, but if everyone refuses then it comes back around to you since it's your turn and you have to go home. From what I've been told, there's always someone who wants to go home, and if anyone's working a double they try to send those aides home first. I'm only working three nights a week, and I don't mind being canceled so long as I at least get to work two nights a week.
Man, that's a fucked-up system. The people at the place we hired to take care of my MiL had the same people M-F, with subs on the weekend, and the subs were every bit as good, with a couple of nit-picks, like they preferred to wipe her ass only with the moist wipes, as opposed to using toilet paper first. Our cost for this was minimal (we provided the wipes), but the couple who were there 5 days a week used to get on the weekend people about being wastrels.
Tell me about it. I ended up leaving the place before I was even there a month. Just decided to not show up for work. Did they call me to check up on me? Nope; just goes to show how much they care about their staff.
Anyhoo, tonight I start at a new facility.
