The Pizza Ovens And Fryers Make It Extremely Hot At Sam 's Pizza

The negative impacts of shift work on workers’ health such as fatigue and sleep which are the main complain among the staff, job performance, psychosocial well-being, and job dissatisfaction have been

The employees would spill the food and be careless and also give out extra toppings to their friends. This would bring the percentage up and at the end of the month when manager would not receive the bonus they would realize the reason of not getting it. The manager set the benefit from 6 to 12 hours for the pizza, and salad. The employees got frustrated some still worked and some quitted. The manager hired new workers. For a time being, the manager started getting bonuses but, after a while the same issue raised because, the new workers were not happy of the policy as far as they got use to of the environment. Later, manager realize that the manager should spend more time in the franchise instead of leaving it on the workers and also the reward system has to be change because, employees were not satisfied with only the managers receive the bonus and the rest would not get

It is problematic that healthcare professions work rotating shifts because this impedes on the ability of the human body to function properly. Rotating shifts means that everyday their shifts are at different times and different lengths of time. The human body needs to be in line with the environment and when the sun is up the body naturally is awake and alert and during night time the body goes dormant to sleep, this is called circadian rhythm. The body has a circadian clock and when this is disrupted this can lead to depression and anxiety. This can lead to exhaustion and irritation that can cause someone to make mistakes. This can also lead to sleep debt and cause insomnia that can affect the mental alertness. Sleep allows the body to fight

There is no reason a server should go home every day and make more than a construction worker or someone who does landscaping for a living. Serving at a restraunt is not that labor intensive, they work inside a building with air condtioning and make minimum wage plus the amount of tips. Thats definitly not fair for the people who have to wake up early in the morning and go work out in the heat all day, just to go home and realize that a server makes more than them. I work twelve hour days and at the end of the day i bring home less than one hundred dollars. From my experience, i know a lot of people who are servers and they bring home over two hundred dollars in one day; only working a 4 hour

According to the social determinants of health, “Researchers have identified a host of work dimensions which shape health outcomes”. Some of the factors mentioned are: Physical conditions at work and work pace and stress. It also states, “High-stress jobs predispose individuals to high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and development of physical and psychological difficulties” (Mikonen & Raphael, 2010). This statement correlates to the complains that the PSWs have regarding their stressful work environment. According to a PSW on our floor, whenever there is a staff shortage, she feels very tired and stressed to try to finish her workload for that shift. In PNUR 203, we discussed stress and burnout in employees . Burnout is defined as a state of physical, emotional or mental exhaustion (“Adult Health”, 2012). Employees in the facility are getting burned out due to the vicious cycle going on. Employees are overworked that leads to exhaustion and results in them not reporting for work. In turn, the facility does not replace the staff and leave the staff to work with limited resources that ultimately goes back to the overworking and exhaustion of staff working. It is a cycle that needs to stop for the well being of both the employees and the residents of the home. I also observe employees getting into arguments with each other due to the stress of the

A member of staff who regularly works for at least 3 hours during the night period are referred to as night workers. The night period is between the hours of 11pm to 6am, unless the worker and employer agree a different night period but this must include midnight to 5am and the shift must be at least 7 hours long. This must be agreed in writing.

This learner can recommends that it will be up to the nurses to be willing to make substantial changes in their behavior. Managers may be urged to consider altering the starting times of shifts whenever possible to make schedules more compatible with circadian rhythms. Avoid scheduling employees to work more than two or three consecutive night shifts and to providing adequate recovery time between shifts, especially when between night and day shifts. Hours of service regulations, where applicable, should also be considered in the development of a fatigue management program.

Since the early days of nursing when nurses would work extended shifts and even lived on the wards where they worked, nurse fatigue has been a much discussed issue. During the late 1800s and into the early 1900s, workers spanning several industries fought for the eight hour work day and eventually won with the passage of the US Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938 (Miller, 2011). In the years since then, the extended shift has again become popular, particularly in the field of nursing. Though many nurses and organizations laud twelve hour shifts as beneficial to staffing needs and personal lives, the risks to patient and nurse safety must be considered.

There are a variety of reasons that EMT’s are working twenty-four hour and longer shifts, and the blame can be established on both the employee and the employer. Since it is cheaper to use twenty-four hour work shifts and it requires less bodies to staff, some companies will do so to increase their profit margin and turn a blind eye to the health and safety of their EMT

The manager’s retaliatory approach to lower the loss percentage was not a motivational factor for the employees at all when he changed the number of hours employees had to work to receive free food from 6 hours a day to 12 hours. Evidently the employees did not respect his authority as the change did not seem to have an effect on them nor did it give them any motivation to do better. These jobs where minimum pay jobs

Patients in a hospital and/or healthcare facilities have to be cared for all day and all night, everyday of the week by nurses. The usual way to fulfill this need is to divide up the day into three 8-hour shifts. Different shifts have been put into place to help improve nurse satisfaction, decrease the nursing shortage and save the hospital money. The 24-hour day is made up of two 12-hour shifts; 12 hours in the day and 12 hours at night. There has been quite an ongoing debate over the years regarding this issue of nurses working over 8 hours in a single day. Many people, such as hospital nursing administrators, have reason to believe that working long hour shifts causes more errors in

In some workplaces, this is considered gross misconduct and may be grounds for disciplinary action, including possible termination of employment. In other types of work, such as firefighting or live-in caregiving, sleeping at least part of the shift may be a part of the paid work time. While some employees who sleep while on duty in violation do so intentionally and hope not to get caught, others intend in good faith to stay awake, and accidentally doze. Sleeping while on duty is such an important issue that it is addressed in the employee handbook in most workplaces. Concerns that employers have may include the lack of productivity, the unprofessional appearance, and danger that may occur when the employee's duties involve watching to prevent a hazardous situation. In some occupations, such as pilots, truck and bus drivers, or those operating heavy machinery, falling asleep while on duty could put lives in danger. The frequency of sleeping while on duty that occurs varies depending on the time of day. Daytime employees are more likely to take short naps, while graveyard shift workers have a higher likelihood of sleeping for a large portion of their shift, sometimes intentionally. A survey by the National Sleep Foundation has found that 30% of participants have admitted to sleeping while on duty. More than 90% of

This issue solely focuses on the legal aspect of the problem. Stealing is a crime and cannot be seen as efficient in any way. Although the owner probably would not press legal charges on his employees for stealing the pizzas, he may terminate them from the position, or cut but their hours drastically.

The fatigue associated with working the night shift was brought into the spotlight after an aircraft incident that occurred on June 10, 1990. British Airways flight 5390 had just departed from Birmingham International Airport when the aircraft experienced a rapid pressure loss due to the pilot’s windshield blowing out of the aircraft. This resulted in the pilot being sucked halfway out of the aircraft and another flight crew member grabbing the pilots belt and holding him from being sucked completely out while the copilot to take control of the aircraft and land it safely at a nearby airport. The official findings of the accident investigation linked the windshield blowout to the wrong size bolts being installed. The bolts were installed early in the morning hours and the fatigued shift maintenance manager who installed them didn’t recognize that they were the wrong bolts. He thought that the countersinking on the window was unusually large (Baron, 2009). This is just one example of mistakes made on night shift due to fatigue. Fatigue is a dangerous human factor that is present in the aircraft maintenance community.

It is my opinion that shift work is another potential hazard to me as an employee in the Healthcare Industry. It is my belief that employees on nightshift work or those working irregular hours may be more susceptible to errors and accidents, mainly due to fatigue or
