Common use of Assignment and Rotation of Low Census Clause in Contracts

Assignment and Rotation of Low Census. In the event that there are no volunteers, the Employer will assign and rotate mandatory low census equitably amongst all employees within a clinical service/unit/department on a shift, provided that skill, competence, ability and availability are not considered to be overriding factors in the opinion of the Employer. If an employee volunteers to take a low census day off, that day off shall be counted for purposes of the low census rotation. Floating to another unit or performing other work assigned by the House Supervisor in lieu of taking a low census day will also count towards the employee’s low census rotation. Each clinical service/unit/department will maintain a roster and low census records, and the roster will be refreshed every six months.
