Assignment to Non-Regularly Scheduled Shift. Regular nurses (not including those in a formal, specific training program and/or orientation) generally are not to be assigned to a variable shift or to rotate shifts, unless at the nurse’s request.

For purposes of this section, “shift” shall mean day shift, evening shift or night shift. The Medical Center will provide the nurse with a minimum of two weeks’ notice prior to assigning to an alternative scheduled shift. Whenever possible, qualified nurses who have indicated their willingness to be assigned will be assigned first. The assignment of other qualified nurses, whose qualifications to perform the duties required are substantially equal, shall be on a rotational basis by seniority per selected shift beginning with the least senior such nurse(s), unless otherwise agreed to by the Medical Center and the directly affected nurses. 8.7.1 A nurse’s assignment in such rotation shall be for a maximum of one (1) month of work, exclusive of scheduled PTO. Upon completion of such assignment, the nurse shall not again be assigned in the rotation until all other eligible nurses in the unit have been assigned in the rotation. The Medical Center shall not assign more than four unit nurses to non-regularly scheduled shifts for a maximum of one cycle without consent of the Association. 8.7.2 Nurses shall be exempt from such rotation if they are (1) among the top 20% of regular nurses on the most recently issued housewide seniority list, and (2) among the top 30% of most senior nurses within their unit and shift. 8.7.3 Rotation of shifts shall be assigned on a pre-scheduled basis prior to posting, unless unusual circumstances arise during the work cycle that could not have been reasonably anticipated in advance. 8.7.4 A nurse assigned to a non-regularly scheduled shifts shall maintain his/her FTE work status on the newly assigned shift and will not be required to work additional scheduled hours on other shifts
