Common use of Mandatory Call Clause in Contracts

Mandatory Call. The Association and the Employer recognize that in order to provide quality patient care, nurses may be required to take mandatory call on an equitable rotational basis providing patient care is not compromised. The Medical Center shall not establish mandatory call in units that do not have mandatory call as of the effective date of this Agreement except for new services, new programs, or new departments where call may be required. For those units that have mandatory call, the Medical Center will establish a committee comprised of nurses from such units and the managers of those units. The committee will meet quarterly to review call and callback trends and issues of concern to the nurses related to call and callback, with the goal of developing a staffing and call pattern and practice to address patient-care needs while also addressing the nurses’ goal of having work-life balance and achieving a ratio of on-call hours: FTE of 40%.
