Floaters...Do you get scheduled for holidays? I know working on holidays is supposed to be switched between the staff pharmacists of a store. Do you get scheduled to work holidays as floaters?
Staff pharmacists can also answer please, do you request to schedule floaters in your stores for holidays?

Yes. Many stores' schedules have "floater shifts" built into the rotation and sometimes they fall on a holiday.

It depends on the scheduler/district. Some schedulers will tell you that holidays are blacked out for any requested time off. So I would say staff pharmacists work most of the holidays unless something comes up or scheduler will work with you. I don't know exact numbers but lets say 20 stores per district and it is 'minor' holiday with most stores open and your district has 2-3 full time floaters then I can see floaters being forced to work holidays.
