Re: Staff want to call out because "gas is to expensive"
my problem is not the price of gas but the lack there of. One thing i have done is to offer the staff a vacant room and for them to do doubles. Some have taken me up on the offer. School is out and daycares are closed and so i have offered to let them bring their children with them if they are old enough. Can create some problems but not at the moment.

Thankfully supply shortages have not become a nationwide issue as yet.
We are however discussing what our facilities options are if fuel shortages become a reality in my state.
I & my husband are as well looking at & exploring the various options available to us personally in such a crisis.
For now though, we simply try to accomidate by any means that is possible, trusting the employees to make some concessions as well.
We have done the "borrow a bed" thing a few times in the winter months. When a heavy storm is expected to hit over night I have had day shift staff come in the night before & occupy a room....at their request, not mine.
I've also had weekend Baylors stay in a room at night when driving conditions were extremely risky & they would likely spend more time on the road getting home & back then what they would spend at home....I have even suggested they stay at the facility in such cases.
So if fuel shortages become a reality here, such accomidations might be possible, though we are running at capacity most of the time these days.
