Christmas rota

Hi there
My Husband is a casual hospital porter for A contractor within the NHS.
He gets his rota on Thursday for the following Monday, which is inconvenient but we put up with it. We never know from one week to the next what shift he will be on, but he has been made redundant from his skilled job twice in 2 years so is grateful for job.
some departments have had their Christmas Rotas since July, he still hasn't got his. So we can't plan Christmas at all as he may be working.
My question is, is there anything we can do? I feel like ringing the HR dept but obviously that is unprofessional!!!!! He has asked the chap that does them and he keeps saying it's not finished yet. It's driving me nuts!!!
Thanks in advance

Do you need to plan travel for visiting family?
If not, can you just plan events (e.g. you may know you want a turkey roast, or to visit church or to go to a carol concert or to go to the cinema or for a meal out) but schedule them in nearer the time and accept that some may be out altogether or may require you to go without him.
It would be worse to get a rota now, schedule things in and then him get asked if it could be changed.:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0 -
The holidays don't matter so much, it's Christmas Day.
Our families are stuck in limbo to plan anything because of his shifts.
If he is working I can't really go his parents for Xmas dinner without him!
My parents have already booked a meal out, if I I join them I will have top pay deposits & we can't really afford it tbh.:money: Martin Lewis Rocks!:money:0 -
