Christmas and New Years are combined under the "Holidays" and Christmas is not considered a religious holiday, it is all about Santa Claus and presents and stuff. (Just my opinion) Easter is a religious holiday and we are not allowed to have religious holidays in our country. We can't celebrate anything that has to do with Jesus because we might offend somebody.

Not normally. I did once work for a Catholic Hospital - sm

and Good Friday was a paid holiday, but have never seen Easter paid. Definitely not paid at the Q.

No, because it's always on a Sunday - and the suits

don't work Sundays anyway, so they don't care if it's a holiday or not. You better believe if Sunday was one of their normal work days, it would be a holiday!

Disagree - sm

If Christmas is on a Sunday, it is still considered a holiday, but as I said earlier, they don't consider it a religious holiday anymore, but Easter still is, so it is not a holiday in their eyes.

They're healthy and that's all I ever pray for, and all the talk of the Easter Bunny coming just shifts me into high gear :).

A holiday for incentive pay. Transcend acknowledges 6 holidays a year for incentive pay; though, Easter is not one of them. I think Easter is as much a holiday (at least to me) as New Year's Day or Memorial Day, which they do pay incentive for. I guess I will just be thankful for the holidays they do pay. ...

And we have to stick together on this. Emailing some of the crap that ASR prints out before we fix it to the head of this stupid company. And the assinine corrections that are failing us.

I am considering going back to school to get an RN. After speaking with a few RN friends in my area I am looking deeper into the possibilities. They recommended our community college with its 2 year degree program. This school also works closely with a major health facility here in town for recruiting. I have been on the hospital's job opening emails and along with multiple openings weekly for RNs (days, nights, and prn) and my nurse friends' agreeing there is a ...

Hello! I may be testing with Medquist today, but wondered what is considered a full-time employee who is eligible for benefits (is it by lines (and how many lines) or by net pay?). Where I am now, I have to net $900/2 weeks to get to full-time, and that is hard to do. Thanks for your input. It is much appreciated. ...
