Shift Rotation. Routine shift rotation is not an approach to staffing endorsed by the Employer. Except for emergency situations where it may be necessary to provide safe patient care, shift rotation will not be utilized without mutual consent. If such an occasion should ever occur, volunteers will be sought first. If no one volunteers, the Employer will rotate shifts on an inverse seniority basis until the staff vacancies are filled.
Shift Rotation. Unless mutually agreeable by the Employer and the nurse involved, shift rotation will be used only when necessary as determined by the Employer. If shift rotation is contemplated to be a recurring practice, it shall be addressed in the Conference Committee, prior to implementation. If shift rotation is necessary, and if skill, ability, experience, competence or qualifications are not overriding factors as determined by the Employer, volunteers will be sought first, and if there are insufficient volunteers, shift rotation will be assigned on the basis of seniority, least senior person first.
Shift Rotation. Where employees are required to rotate amongst shifts, the College shall endeavour to schedule shifts so that there will be a minimum of fifteen (15) hours, or less if the Local Union and the College agree and the affected employee approves, between the end of the employee's regularly scheduled shift and the commencement of his/her new shift. Where there is one (1) or two (2) days off between the change of shift, the College shall endeavour to provide for thirty-nine (39) hours and sixty (60) hours, respectively, between the end of the employee's regularly scheduled shift and the commencement of his/her new shift.
Shift Rotation. Where two (2) or more shifts are required, they shall rotate every two (2) weeks where practical; i.e., it is not intended that rotation would apply where there is no counterpart or cross shift.
Shift Rotation. A scheduled shift rotation is a change of working hours in which a majority of working time occurs in a different shift. For purposes of this section, shifts are defined in section 10.1.
Shift Rotation. Required scheduled shift changes shall be limited to three (3) per month with at least twenty-four (24) hours off between changes. The Employer will make a good faith effort to limit required shift changes to two (2) per month. A scheduled shift change shall be defined as a change of working hours in which a majority of working time occurs in a different shift. For purposes of this section, shifts are defined as days, evenings or nights. Management will make a good faith effort not to create new rotating shift positions.
Shift Rotation. Where shift rotation is required by the Employer, a good faith effort will be made to limit shift rotation to a fourteen (14) day period between each rotation. More frequent shift rotation may be mutually agreed to on an individual basis. Should shift rotation be required on a temporary basis, volunteers will be sought first. If there are insufficient volunteers, the Employer will assign shift rotation on the basis of qualifications and reverse seniority on the affected unit.
Shift Rotation. The Employer has the right to rotate an employee to a shift other than his or her assigned shift based on emergent need. Unless mutually agreeable by the Employer and the employee involved, shift rotation will be used only when necessary as determined by the Employer. If shift rotation is necessary volunteers will be sought first and, if there are insufficient volunteers, shift rotation will be assigned in the reverse order of seniority, unless skill, ability, experience, competency and/or qualifications require otherwise in the Employer’s judgment. Because shift rotation is considered an assignment rather than a position, there shall be no posting of shift rotations.
Shift Rotation. Any Regular Nurse assigned to rotating shifts who is scheduled, unless by request, to work within eight (8) hours after the end of a scheduled shift shall be paid at overtime rates for the entire second shift.
Shift Rotation. The Employer shall avoid shift rotation except for emergency conditions (unforeseeable conditions beyond the Employer's control including employee absences, terminations without notice and changes in patient census, but not vacations scheduled). When shift rotation is unavoidable, it shall be scheduled by rotation in inverse order of seniority.
