Call Requirement Sample Clauses

Call Requirement. 7.5.1 All providers who are 0.75 FTE and above must schedule themselves for one call day per month by submitting available dates to their scheduling coordinator; at least one call day per calendar quarter shall be on a weekend. Providers less than a 0.75 may choose to take call on a voluntary basis. A provider designated as “on call” shall make themselves available for the designated hours of call on the schedule. If called to work, they shall be given a reasonable amount of lead time to prepare for the shift including travel time to the assignment, which shall not exceed thirty (30) miles, measured from the Provider’s home clinic, except in unusual circumstances. Providers may sign up for additional call days; additional voluntary call shifts may be accepted without regard for the distance to the assignment. 7.5.2 If a Provider does not schedule a call date with the scheduling coordinator prior to publication of the schedule, the scheduling coordinator will assign a call day. This will be assigned on a non-scheduled day for that provider. 7.5.3 The on-call duty Provider will be available by telephone or text between the hours of 0600 – 1000 and if contacted during this time they will report to the requested site as soon as possible, but no later than 90 minutes after being contacted. Occasionally, the Provider will be notified the night before if the scheduling coordinator or regional manager is aware of the call out at that time. In that case, the provider is expected to be present at the start of a shift. 7.5.4 If the on-call provider is not contacted by the 1000 hour they are released from any further responsibility for this on-call duty for that day.
