lieu thereof at the employee’s base rate.
2. Such minimum guarantee shall not apply if Employer makes a reasonable effort to
notify the employee at least two (2) hours prior to the scheduled starting time that the
employee should not report to work. It shall be the employee’s responsibility to keep
his/her current phone number on file with Employer. Failure to do so shall exempt
Employer from such notification requirement and from the above minimum
guarantee.
G. Assignment of Overtime
Each department shall keep a sign-up list of those employees who desire to be given
overtime or additional hours. The employees wishing to work overtime or additional
hours will communicate their availability in writing during the schedule preparation
period. Deadlines for submitting availability will be consistent with those for other
schedule requests. In the assignment of additional hours, the Employer will first offer
such work to employees, in order of seniority, who would not incur overtime. Employees
who are pre-scheduled to meet core staffing or working for benefited employees may not
self-cancel. Assignments for working overtime or additional hours from the availability
list will be made in bargaining unit seniority order within the unit or department, except
where specialized work, skill or trained personnel are required, as follows:
1. Regular Full Time Employees who have received HC in the workweek;
2. Regular Part Time Employees who have received HC in the workweek;
3. Regular Part Time Employees;
4. Limited Part Time Employees;
5. Per Diem, On Call, Casual Employees.

approved overtime in order to complete his/her normal work assignment. The Employer
is also not required to call an employee from the list where the anticipated additional
work can be completed in two (2) hours or less and there are employees who are already
working who are willing to pick up the additional hours/ overtime. Such hours shall be
assigned by seniority where more than (1) employee desires to pick up the additional
hours/ overtime.
H. Split Shifts
No employees shall be assigned to work a split shift, unless mutually agreed upon by
Union and Management.
I. Mandatory Overtime
The Employer and the union recognize that mandatory overtime is not desirable and
represents a burden on the employees. Acceptance of overtime and shifts beyond the
employee’s schedule shall be voluntary and in accordance with state law or regulations,
except where patient care would be endangered by an internal or external emergency
declared by state, local or federal government, or declared by the administrator on duty.
