An RMO who believes he/she has been placed in a situation as a result of cross cover which she/he believes will compromise patient care shall in the first instance advise the appropriate Clinical Director and/or manager of the situation, and if the situation persists the RMO cannot be obliged to undertake professional responsibilities that compromise the safety of his or her patients. The parties accept that the final decision to provide cross cover falls to the RMO taking into account their current workload and the proposed workload. Where an employee provides cross cover, he/she shall be paid an additional $165 in recognition of the increased workload. If cover is provided by more than one employee then the payment is shared among those employees providing cover.
