How do y’all determine the maintenance on-call schedule? was created by Madeline Stewart

How do y’all determine the on-call schedule? I have 3 maintenance and am looking for a more equitable way to assign the duties. TIA.
Edit: I am specifically asking about the process by which it’s determined. Do you draw straws to start the rotation? Give everyone upfront an opportunity to request off certain times?

We just rotate a week at a time; Friday night through Thursday morning.

Rotate it and make a schedule so that they pick the holidays that they are working/off and never the same person back to back. That way they know well in advance who’s on.

We just rotate ours, they each do 1 week. We also have them rotate holidays so no one has to work every holiday

We rotate a week at a time. Monday morning to Monday morning. And rotate holiday’s so one guy doesn’t have to work all of them. I only have 2 guys. If something special is going on for one of them the other one will cover that night. They are really good about helping each other out. Can’t remember how we started the rotation. But drawing straws would be a good way or by seniority.

We have 3 guys and rotate 1 week on, 2 weeks off. If they want to request time off or need it off during their on call week, then they are responsible for getting the on-call phone covered. It works out just fine.

2 on, 2 off. Holidays as they come. If we wanna swap days, we do. No problems.
