ARTICLE 16: FLOATING For O’Connor, Saint Louise and Seton only: A. Orientation for Floating. When employees are floated between units or departments, they will not be required to perform duties for which they are not competent, and will be given orientation, as appropriate.

Floating Order Employees who float to another unit or department will do so on a rotational basis within the classification being floated, provided said employee is competent to perform the assignment in the unit to which he/she is floated. A unit/department may float on a straight seniority basis within a classification, if in a vote conducted by the Union, a majority of employees in that unit or department chooses to implement a seniority system. Before floating regular employees, the Employers shall float employees in the following order: 1. Volunteers 2. Registry/Travelers (provided competencies exist) 3. Temporary employees 4. Per Diem employees 5. Limited Part-time C. Floating to More than One Unit/Department No employee will float to more than one (1) department or unit during a single shift, unless floating to multiple departments/units is a regular part of an employee’s assignment.
