[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=doodlebug]If they're working on Xmas day, I GUARANTEE they're being paid extra for it...both in cash and in an extra day off later. I'd still talk to them about what they're planning to do for YOU but it's completely reasonable to expect double pay if you'll be missing out on your own festivities. Perhaps they'll let you take the kids to your home for the day, or out to the movies etc to make it a more special day instead of same ol'  same ol'.

Im the physician PP again. I've worked every Christmas for 20 years. I've never been paid extra for a holiday. Usually holidays are rotated, so in a situation like this, they may be more likely to get THanksgiving or another holiday, but across a half dozen hospitals and as many variations in seniority, I've never seen a physician get extra holiday pay as a given.

Honestly, what you have here is a religious holiday which is not a federal holiday this year. As a Jew, I've dealt with this my entire life, as our religious holidays are never federal holidays. You either request the day of, work the days as a regular day, or negotiate, in advance, what it will require for you to work that day. [/quote]

Aren't most physicians salary?[/quote]

New physician poster here, and some are, some aren't.  I used to work hourly in an ED, and the entire ED was staffed by people who worked hourly with the exception of 2 docs who were running it.  I didn't get paid additional when I worked on Christmas Day.  Although I will always treasure the story of the guy high on cocaine, naked as baby Jesus, running around the live manger scene.  He was eventually tased by the three wise police officers.
