Must be a factor here?

Stat holidays is time and half, of course. But they have deemed around 4 or so days to be super stat holidays. That means they get double time. Christmas is one of those days. I know a nurse who games this and I'm not sure if I can get all the details correct but here is my attempt to explain it.
They influence the schedulers to get shifts and the take turns with a coworker as to who calls in sick on the superstat. The person who has it off gets double time, OT and its usually an over night shift so there is an overnight premium and also a weekend premium if it lands on a weekend. Someone making $50/hr is suddenly getting almost triple the wage for that one shift.
