We are a 150 unit coop with a live-in Super and a maintenance staff of 4, ideally. I was wondering how other coops manage time off as everyone is entitled to some time off and vacation. Does your Super have off on the weekends, or during the week? As of late the shareholders have been upset that the new Super gets weekends off and feel that since he lives in the building, he should be here on the weekends.
How do your buildings handle this and what works best for you.
JG - thank you for responding. We are a non-union bldg in NJ. And you make some great points. I wanted to take a survey to see what others were doing. This is very helpful.

Most people like weekends off. If your super and/or maintenance staff are covered by a union contract, first review that document to see if there are any restrictions or conditions regarding days worked amd time (days) off.
We have a porter and a super, for many years one of them worked Tues - Sat and the other worked Sun - Thurs.
Whether the super should be off all weekends depends on the abilities of your maintenance staff. Are they cleaning/trash-handling staff only, or are they capable of making repairs and snaking drains? It's hard to do repairs Mon - Fri 8-5 when most people are out working, unless you have access/keys to their apartments.
