Alternate Work Schedules. Workweeks and work shifts of different numbers of hours may be established for overtime-eligible nurses by the Employer in order to meet business, program and customer service needs, as long as the alternate work schedules meet federal and state laws. Nurses may request alternative work schedules and such requests will be approved by the Employer, subject to business, customer service and patient care needs. The Employer may disapprove requests if there are performance or attendance concerns. Previously approved alternate work schedules may be rescinded by the Employer if business, customer service or patient care needs are no longer being met, or if performance or attendance concerns occur. The Employer will consider nurses’ personal and family needs. Where such alternative work schedules are established or amended, the schedule shall include how the alternative schedule operates during a week in which there is a recognized holiday. If a supervisor rejects, or amends an alternative work schedule for holiday weeks, then the supervisor shall inform the employee, in writing, of the reason(s) for the rejection or amendment, including why the alternative work schedule will not meet the business, customer service and patient care needs.
