RE: Time Off-Coverage
What does your P.A. do? Sounds to me like you need to put him/her to work.
I have the same situation here, except I have a tech not a P.A. to cover
from 7:30-4:00. When my gross tech is out he covers for him. And if I need
him to come in early to cover for the cutters, he is willing to do it. The
only draw back is that when he is out I have to cover for him. I guess I
should consider myself lucky.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Time Off-Coverage
Our lab is a smaller lab consisiting of two full time histotechs, a grossing
tech, and a Pathologist Assistant. We are having a hard time deciding on
how to deal with time off for techs when the histotech time frame is
5:30am-1:30pm and the grossing time frame is 11:30am-6:00pm. We also do
some cytology fluid prep work. I am trying to figure out a good solution so
that nobody gets burned out and everything is covered. Our current workload
is enough that a single tech can't handle either the grossing or the
microtomy alone. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
