The Employer will first seek volunteers from the unit and shift to accomplish these changes. Any nurse subject to an involuntary reduction in their FTE will be given preference up to their prior position (FTE) if the Employer seeks to expand the hours of an existing FTE on the nurse’s unit and shift. Any nurse subject to an involuntary reduction in their FTE of greater than a .2 FTE, or an involuntary reduction resulting in a loss of employee or dependent medical insurance coverage will be placed on the Recall Roster (8.12).
