Rotation of Shifts. Employees required to work rotating shifts (day, evening and night duty) shall be scheduled in such a way as to, as equitably as possible, assign the rotation equally. This does not preclude an Employee from being continuously assigned to an evening or night shift at the Employee’s request where such continuing assignment is acceptable to the Employer.
Rotation of Shifts. (a) Shift rotation shall be done on an equitable basis among the employees involved within a classification in each work group except that, by mutual agreement, an employee will be permitted to choose more than their share of the second or third shifts.
Rotation of Shifts. (a) Shift rotation shall only occur when there is a majority agreement amongst the employees involved within the classification series within a work group.
Rotation of Shifts. Except on a voluntary basis, nurses will not be required to rotate shifts. In the event of an emergency, however, where a temporary shift change becomes necessary due to the operating requirements of the Employer, employees will be assigned first on a voluntary basis and then in inverse order of seniority unless a specific skill set is needed that a less senior nurse does not possess thus necessitating the need to assign a more senior employee.
Rotation of Shifts. There will be no rotation of shifts for regularly scheduled nurses, except during orientation.
Rotation of Shifts. The rotation of shifts shall be carried out in an equitable manner. Each employee shall receive at least seven (7) days of day shift in a month, provided he/she may waive this right.
Rotation of Shifts. If shifts rotate, they shall rotate on a block of no greater than thirteen (13), twenty-eight (28)-day periods as determined by majority vote of the affected employees at the worksite in question. The Employer may override the results of this vote based upon reasonable operational needs.
Rotation of Shifts. (a) Employees required to work rotating shifts shall be scheduled in such a way as to, as equitably as possible, assign the rotation equally.
Rotation of Shifts. The Medical Center and the Association concur that shift rotation shall be avoided to the extent feasible. All nurses who work straight shifts shall, regardless of assignment, remain on straight shifts unless the nurse consents to work a rotating shift or as provided in 6.13.1 below. Nurses who work a rotating shift shall not be rotated to a different shift more frequently than on a monthly basis except as provided in 6.13.1 below. A “rotating shift” is a shift that rotates between days, evenings and/or night shifts. This section shall not apply to changing start times within an established shift. Nurses whose shift is designated “variable” will, when possible, work their preferred shift. When unit needs require that a nurse works a non-preferred shift, the nurse will rotate off their preferred shift one schedule (usually a 4-week schedule) at a time, using a rotating system that is transparent to all variable shift nurses on each unit. Variable shift staff nurses that must rotate off their preferred shift shall be rotated on an equitable basis beginning with the least senior nurse. After their turn at rotating off their preferred shift, the nurse then goes to the bottom of the list. The Employer strives to meet the goal of ensuring variable shift positions are less than twenty percent (20%) of FTEs, except in extenuating circumstances.
Rotation of Shifts. Where there is more than one employee in a work area and shift rotation is involved, all employees must rotate in an equitable manner through the various shifts.
