Unit Merger Sample Clauses
A Unit Merger clause defines the process and conditions under which two or more units, such as business entities, properties, or interests, are combined into a single unit. Typically, this clause outlines the necessary approvals, the method for valuing the units, and the steps for consolidating assets, liabilities, and ownership interests. For example, it may specify how voting rights are determined or how financial obligations are shared after the merger. The core function of this clause is to provide a clear and structured framework for merging units, thereby reducing uncertainty and potential disputes during the consolidation process.
Unit Merger. In the event of a merger of two (2) or more units into a single unit, the Employer will determine the number of full-time and part-time FTEs by shift required for the new unit. A listing of the FTEs for each shift on the new unit, including qualification requirements, shall be posted on the unit(s) for at least seven (7) days. Other vacant positions within the Hospital will also be posted on the unit(s) at that time. By the end of the posting period, each nurse shall have submitted to the Employer a written list that identifies and ranks the nurse’s preferences for all available positions (first to last), including the option to select a position from the Low Seniority Roster if no new unit position is acceptable. Based upon these preference lists, the Employer will fill the positions on the new unit based upon seniority subject to skill, competence, and ability in the opinion of the Employer. Nurses who are not selected to fill a position in the new unit, and nurses who have not found an acceptable position in the new unit, may bump any less senior nurse on the Low Seniority Roster, providing the nurse is qualified for the position in the opinion of the Employer.
Unit Merger. In the event of a merger of two (2) or more units into a single unit on a permanent basis, the Hospital will determine the number of full-time and part-time FTEs by shift required for the new unit, including any qualification requirements. The Hospital will notify the Union in advance of FTEs being posted. At the request of either party, a meeting shall take place to discuss the effects, if any, of a unit merger. A listing of the FTEs for each shift on the new unit shall be posted on the unit(s) for at least seven (7) days. Other vacant positions within the Hospital will also be posted on the unit(s) at that time. By the end of the posting period, each nurse shall have submitted to the Hospital a written list which identifies and ranks the nurse’s preferences for all available positions (first to last). Based upon these preference lists, the Hospital will assign nurses to positions on the new unit based upon seniority, providing the new unit’s patient care requirements are satisfied as determined by the Hospital, based upon established criteria. Nurses who are not assigned a position on the new or restructured unit will be laid off or may select from the options set forth in Section 5.3. In the event the new unit has the identical positions on each shift as prior to the merger, nurses will continue in their respective positions without recourse to the seven (7) day posting procedures.
Unit Merger. In the event that the Employer decides to implement a reorganization and formally merge Hospital units (ER, OR, Med-Surg or OB), it shall identify the available positions in the new Hospital unit. The Employer shall post the job openings for the new unit under the procedures of Section 12.4; however, posting and consideration shall be limited to nurses from the units to be merged. Any nurse who is identified as excess at the conclusion of this job selection process, will receive notice of a layoff situation, and may "bump" on a Hospital-wide basis through the procedures of Section 13.2.2(2).
Unit Merger. In the event of a merger of two (2) or more units into a single unit the Employer will determine the number of full-time and part-time FTEs by shift required for the new unit. A listing of the FTEs for each shift on the new unit, including qualification requirements, shall be posted on the unit(s) for at least seven (7) days. A listing of any available vacant position within the Hospital and the Low Seniority Roster (Section 6.3) will be posted on the unit for at least seven (7) days. By the end of the posting period, each nurse shall have submitted to the Employer a written list which identifies and ranks the nurse’s preferences for all available positions (first to last), including the option to select a position from the Low Seniority Roster (Section 6.3) if no new unit position is acceptable. Based upon these preference lists, the Employer will fill the positions on the new unit based upon seniority subject to skill, competence, ability in the opinion of the Employer. Nurses who are not selected to fill a position in the new unit, and nurses who have not found an acceptable position in the new unit, may select a position from the Low Seniority Roster (Section 6.3), providing the nurse is qualified for the position in the opinion of the Employer.
Unit Merger. Restructure it shall be within the authority of the Labor-Management Committee to review and recommend appropriate practices for conducting unit mergers and/or restructures for the purpose of promoting “best practices” in the transition process and to promote quality patient care and services. This can include a retrospective review of unit mergers and restructures for the purpose of evaluating practices utilized during unit mergers and restructures that have already occurred. The Committee may make recommendations to the Union and to Human Resources regarding practices it believes can better effectuate unit mergers and restructures in the future.
