ARTICLE 15: CALL-OFFS & DAILY CANCELLATIONS At Seton, Saint Louise and O’Connor Only: A. Every Effort to Avoid Call-offs. The Employers and the Union agree that after the application of the standards called for in Article 4, Job Security it may be necessary for the Employers to require an employee to take time off without pay during temporary periods of low census or other occasions when staffing levels must be adjusted on a temporary basis; this is referred to as Hospital Convenience or HC time. HC time must be approved by a supervisor or department manager. Eligible employees who are cancelled may take the time off without pay or use PTO (where applicable) at the employee’s discretion. 34

Subject to patient care considerations and staffing needs, when it is necessary to cancel employees pursuant to this Article, the following procedure shall be followed, and the employee shall be called-off in the following order: 1.

Part-time employees working shifts over and above their regular schedule, 7. Limited Part-time employees, 8. Regular Full-time employees and Regular Part-time employees working their regular schedule. The Employers will accept volunteers for call-offs before any other employees, provided that such voluntary call-offs do not result in retaining an employee at premium pay who would have been called off if the Employers followed this list above, unless the Employers permit. Within each category above, call-offs shall be by reverse order of seniority within a department provided that the remaining employees are qualified and able to perform the work. As an alternative, if in a vote conducted by the Union, a majority of employees in that department so elect, daily cancellations shall be by rotation, in reverse order of seniority. D.
