All work on the seventh (7 th ) consecutive day of the work week shall be paid for at two times (2X) the basic straight-time hourly rate. At Seton, Saint Louise and O’Connor Only: C. Alternative Workweeks The parties agree to maintain all existing alternative workweek schedules currently in effect unless two-thirds (2/3) of the affected employees petition to terminate or modify such arrangement. Should any new group of employees petition to work either ten (10) or twelve(12) hour shifts, the Employers shall grant due consideration to the feasibility of the request. Should it be determined that the request is feasible, then the parties will meet as soon as possible to agree on schedules and a date to conduct a joint secret ballot election of affected employees. In cases of hardship, employees may request, and shall be granted whenever possible, to continue their same shift in a unit or work area that converts to alternative scheduling. Any new alternative workweek schedules require that the Employers first meet and bargain with the Union to arrive at a mutually satisfactory schedule and other issues related to the implementation of the new schedules. When an employee is working under an Alternative Workweek he/she shall be paid overtime at the rate of time and one-half (1½) the regular rate of pay for the hours over forty (40) in a workweek and double times (2 X) the regular rate of pay for the hours over twelve (12) in a workday. For employees working a ten (10) hour schedule on the fifth day of work or twelve (12)-hour schedule on the fourth day of the work week will be paid on that day and each successive day of that work week at time and one half (1½) for the first eight (8) hours and double-time all hours thereafter. D. Posting of Schedules. Monthly schedules of starting and quitting times and days off will be posted no less than thirteen (13) days in advance of the schedule, subject to emergency situation changes. The Employer may change schedules prior to posting to meet patient care and related service demands. However, the Union may submit such changes for review under Article 29 Committees. In the event the Employers need to change the schedule after it has been posted, any such change requires mutual consent by an in-person or direct telephone conversation initiated by the Employers. E. Rest and Meal Periods. Employees who work scheduled shifts of five (5) hours or more are entitled to a dutyfree, unpaid meal period of at least thirty (30) minutes. Employees who work in excess of five (5) hours but less than six (6) hours may voluntarily waive the meal period. Each employee shall be granted a paid rest period of fifteen (15) minute break periods per four (4) hours of work, or major fraction thereof. 56

F. Rest Between Shifts. Each Regular Full-time, Regular Part-time, and Limited Part-time employee shall have an unbroken rest period of at least twelve (12) hours between shifts. Also, a Per Diem employee will not be charged with a refusal for declining a shift that starts within twelve (12) hours of the end of the last shift worked. All hours worked within the above rest period shall be paid at the rate of time and one-half (1 ½). Overtime for which premium pay is given shall count as rest periods for purposes of this Paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph may be waived on the written request of the individual employee and with the agreement of the supervisor. Such requests for waivers shall be in writing and the individual employee shall indicate the time period during which such waiver shall be in effect. G. Weekend Work. A weekend is defined as two (2) days, which are Saturday and Sunday for the day and evening shifts, and Friday and Saturday for the night shift. The Employers will grant each Regular Full-time and Regular Part-time employee every other weekend off. This provision does not apply to employees who hold positions which normally include every weekend scheduling or to employees who elect to work weekend shifts. Any department or work area currently working more favorable scheduling patterns than those set forth above shall retain such scheduling. Changes or exceptions to the above regarding weekend scheduling may be considered by the Union and the Employers and are subject to mutual agreement and a vote of the affected employees. H. Weekend Differentials. The following applies to Seton: The Employer will use its best efforts to grant each Regular Full-time and Regular Part-time employee every other weekend off and will guarantee each Regular Full-time and each Regular Part-time employee every third (3rd) weekend off. If the Employers require a Regular Full-time or Regular Part-time employee to work three (3) or more consecutive weekends in a row or two (2) consecutive weekends in a row and a Saturday or Sunday immediately following, the employee will receive an additional day of paid time off for work performed on the third consecutive weekend or a Saturday or Sunday immediately following and for each succeeding weekend or Saturday or Sunday until granted a weekend off. This does not apply to Regular Full-time or Regular Part-tine employees who desire a schedule which includes weekend work or to Regular Full-time or Regular Part-time employees who desire to work certain weekends which make up a portion of the three (3) consecutive weekends. The following applies to Saint Louise and O’Connor: If an employee is required to work on a weekend for which he or she would normally be scheduled to be off on his or her every other weekend off schedule, the employee will be paid time and one half (1 l/2) for work on such additional 57
