Credited Experience. Experience in the extra-pay position shall be credited on the basis of one year for each year of experience with the following exceptions:
Credited Experience. Continuous recent applicable experience shall be defined as clinical nursing experience in an acute care setting, home health agency or equivalent health care experience without a break in nursing which would reduce the level of nursing skills or nursing experience comparable to that required in the position for which the nurse is being hired, in the opinion of the Chief Nursing Officer. (Participation in a nursing program does not count as year for year credit and does not constitute a break in nursing experience.) In the event an RN new hire has previous LPN experience, s/he shall receive credit based on the above definition on the basis of 2 years of LPN experience equal to 1 year of RN experience.
Credited Experience. Credited experience is defined as the employee's continuous years (with a break of no more than six months) of experience within their job classification and/or a related classification. Related classification for this purpose is tied to classifications within the same job group as set forth in Appendix “B.” Only experience within the Providence Health & Services System will be considered. Experience Level Advancement. Employees will receive one (1) year of experience credit for each 1872 hours paid plus low census hours or after one (1) calendar year, whichever occurs later. Time worked which is paid for at either time and one-half (1½) or double time (2X) will count only as the actual hours worked and not for the pay received. For example, an employee who works three (3) hours after the end of his shift and, therefore, receives four and one-half (4½) hours of pay for the three (3) hours, will have three (3) hours credit towards the employee's 1872 hours. Employees whose initial placement is at a level between 10-12, 12-14, 16- 18, 18-20, 20-22, 22-25 will advance to the next contract experience level (i.e. twelve, fourteen, eighteen, twenty, twenty-two, and twenty-five) based upon their initial placement on the placement matrix. For example, an employee whose initial placement level is twelve on the placement matrix will move to level fourteen on the contract experience level scale in 3744 hours or two years, whichever is later.

New Hires - Allowance for Experience. New employees hired based upon their experience will not be hired in at pay levels which exceed the employee's years of service in the classification. Experience in a related classification outside of Providence Regional Medical Center Everett will not be counted for more than one year for each two years. Experience must be continuous. Internal Equity. If a new employee is hired into a pay level which is greater than the employee’s credited experience in that classification, the Union shall be notified within ten (10) calendar days after the employee is hired of the reason for the higher pay. The pay range for that entire job classification will be adjusted for the higher pay. The pay range for the entire job classification will be adjusted to reflect the placement of the new hire (e.g. if the new hire should be on pay level four (4) but is hired into pay level eight (8), then that wage rate becomes pay level four (4), and all employees in the job classification will be adjusted accordingly).
