Common use of Float Differential Clause in Contracts

Float Differential. Nurses who float from their home department shall receive a float differential of five percent (5%) above the Nurse’s base rate of pay for all hours worked while floating. The five percent (5%) Float Differential will apply when a Nurse is temporarily assigned to work outside of her/his regular department in order to fill vacancies that occur in the regular functioning of the Hospital. (See Article II B.2.) The five percent (5%) Float Differential will not apply when the Nurse temporarily assigned to work outside of her/his regular department is cross trained to the department to which she/he would be assigned. Departments are defined in Appendix E.
