FLOAT EMPLOYEES. For the purpose of this Article the term “float” is used to describe how an employee derives a daily work assignment. A float employee works a variable work schedule at multiple Inpatient nursing units and Outpatient nursing modules/department within or between facilities. Float employees are recognized in all of the employee definitions above, but are distinct in the variability of their work assignments. The float employees’ primary purpose is to provide replacement for scheduled and unscheduled absences of regularly scheduled employees, and to enhance the stability and flexibility of the staffing model for selected populations of clients by responding to workload fluctuations.
