Personnel managers at Region Jönköping are working hard right now to solve the personnel issues in the healthcare sector. Primarily for the increased pressure due to the corona pandemic, but also to resolve staff vacations this summer. And the extra staff hired because of corona will also help solve the regular staff's summer vacations.

What can steal the summer plans is if the corona's contagion curves are not planned out in time.

- Corona is difficult to assess, but according to the signals we receive, corona should have planned out before the summer and then we should be able to resolve the holidays, says Sven Fägerskjöld, HR Manager in the region.

Staff can receive late semester notice

This year, the employer has informed the trade unions that the message about holidays may come as late as one month before the start of the holiday for the individual.

"Of course it's not good, but we hope the staff have some understanding of this this year," says Sven Fägerskjöld.
