The Employer will provide clinicians and the Union with monthly reports on the numbers of procedural shifts worked at each health center by employed and by contracted physicians. The Employer will not schedule contracted clinicians to perform non-procedural services except on a temporary basis to address an unanticipated fluctuation in workload, as an interim replacement during a leave of absence, or while a permanent position is being filled. When preparing the schedule, the employer will schedule trained bargaining unit clinicians from within the same service zones (as defined in Article 14.2.3) to perform colposcopy, aspiration, and sterilization procedures unless one of the following circumstances applies: (a) The procedures are performed by the medical directors, the residents they are training, or the Director of Clinical Services; (b) Trained bargaining unit clinicians do not sign up to do procedures using a standard sign-up process; or (c) Other bargaining unit clinicians are not available to cover scheduled family planning visits regularly performed by trained bargaining unit clinicians.
