After Posting. Relief Shifts
(a) The Employer may offer relief shifts to Regular or Temporary Part-Time Nurses or Casual Nurses. The Nurses are not required to accept the relief shifts.
(b) A Regular or Temporary Part-Time Nurse or a Casual Nurse who is offered and accepts relief shifts shall be compensated at the Nurse’s regular hourly rate for the hours worked.
(c) Once a relief shift is accepted, the Nurse is obligated to work. The Nurse who does not report for work on the relief shift as offered and accepted shall not be entitled to any compensation for the relief shift, except a Part- Time Nurse on a paid leave of absence (ie. authorized sick leave, bereavement leave).
(d) When his or her availability changes after the schedule is posted, a Part- Time Nurse may change his or her noted availability and is responsible for advising the Employer as soon as possible.
(e) For clarification, a relief shift of four (4) hours or more worked by a Regular or Temporary Part-Time Nurse or a Casual Nurse contiguous to another regular shift worked is not considered an extension of a shift and will not attract overtime in accordance with Article 7.16 (a). Not applicable to a Nurse Practitioner.
