Requesting and Granting Clause Samples

Requesting and Granting. ETO ETO must, except in unusual circumstances, be requested in writing in advance of the time off desired. Consistent with the Hospital's responsibilities to provide adequate patient care, the Hospital will normally approve said request. Before the schedule is posted, it is the responsibility of the Hospital to find a replacement for a nurse granted ETO. If a replacement is necessary for a nurse who utilizes emergency or sick ETO, it shall also be the Hospital's responsibility to arrange for the replacement. ETO approvals cannot be rescinded by either party without mutual agreement once the ETO is on the posted work schedule. An exception to this will be ETO approval for scheduled time off can be canceled if, after the approval was given, the nurse used so much ETO time for purposes other than call- off, emergency or sick that the nurse will not have sufficient ETO time for the scheduled time off. The Hospital will develop a tracking system for ETO denials and the data will be available upon request.
