HealthcareStaffing & Scheduling4HighNurse$ implied
Nurses on units with high seniority cannot get their PTO requests approved because senior nurses' extra PTO hours exhaust the weekly budget, leaving junior nurses to carry over unused PTO.
Existing PTO systems do not equitably distribute leave time when senior nurses accrue more hours; they lack a way to balance seniority preference with fair access for all staff.
