The Hospital shall insure that there will not be increased assignment of any of its nursing staff to night, evening, holiday or weekend duty as a result of the use of temporary Nurse personnel. Temporary Nurses shall not be given unit or shift assignment preference over regular staff except where no other reasonable alternative is available to provide needed nursing coverage.

If a current employee fills a temporary position, the employee shall continue to accrue seniority and to retain benefits held or accrued in the prior position. If a new hire fills the position, the employee will not accrue.
