Weekend Program. 24 for 36 In order to promote staff recruitment and retention and as an aid to fill vacancies on various units on weekends, the Hospital may implement a program for twelve (12) hour shifts on weekends (24 for 36). The Hospital will define specific floating districts and shift hours as it deems appropriate to target areas and times needed to supplement staffing on the weekends. Such positions shall be posted and filled according to the current bargaining unit agreement. In addition,

As a guideline, however, positions will be included in the Program if they regularly require an employee to work: During the weekend, shifts that are regularly scheduled to begin Friday at 7:00 a.m. through Sunday at 11:00 p.m. An employee in a position that is designated by the Hospital as part of the Program and who are regularly scheduled to work three (3) twelve (12) hour weekend shifts per week shall receive forty (40) hours pay. However, in order to be eligible for forty (40) hours pay based on thirty-six (36) regularly scheduled hours of work, an employee must work or be paid accrued ETO time equal to or greater than 36 hours in a pay period. For example, if an employee is regularly scheduled to work three 12-hour shifts in a week and is absent from work for one 12-hour shift, the employee will only be paid 40 hours if she is paid 12 hours of accrued ETO time for the one-day absence. If for whatever reason, the employee is not paid 12 hours of accrued time, she will only be paid 24 hours for the week. An employee in the Program will be eligible for overtime as described in Section 28.2 above. As of April 18, 2010, any member currently part of “The Night Program” for the purposes of receiving forty (40) hours pay who are regularly scheduled to work three (3) twelve (12) hour shifts will no longer be entitled to the four
