More than one employee may sign up for the same shift. Available shifts will then be distributed among Bargaining Unit Employees who have signed up in rotating seniority order, first to employees who would not receive Overtime, then to employees for whom the additional shift will not trigger Consecutive Shift Premium, then to any qualified Bargaining Unit employee.

Open Shifts. Additional shifts will first be offered to regular full-time and part-time nurses assigned in that Department who can work the shift on a straight-time basis, and then to per diem nurses. Prior to offering additional shifts to regular FTE nurses, the Employer may preschedule each per diem nurse for up to two (2) shifts per schedule.

Regular full-time employees who have been canceled due to Low Census Days. 2. Regular part-time employees who have been canceled due to low census days. 3. Regular part-time employees. The above preference order will not result in bumping employees out of work for which they are normally scheduled nor will it result in any employee being scheduled to work overtime.

Regular full-time employees. 2. Regular part-time employees.
