Daily and Bi-Weekly Overtime. 1. In general, Nurses covered by this Agreement work an 8/80 schedule. Nurses assigned to an 8/80 schedule:
a. Overtime is paid at one and one half (1 ½) times the Nurse’s regular rate in the following situations:
(1) For hours worked over eight (8) in a workday; and
(2) For hours worked over eighty (80) in a pay period.
b. Double time is paid at two (2) times the Nurse’s regular rate for hours worked over twelve (12) in a workday.
2. Nurses assigned to a straight time 10-hour schedule:
a. Overtime is paid at one and one half (1 ½) times the Nurse’s regular rate in the following situations:
(1) For hours worked over ten (10) in a workday; and
(2) For hours worked over forty (40) in a workweek.
b. Double time is paid at two (2) times the Nurse’s regular rate for hours worked over twelve (12) in a workday.
3. Nurses assigned to a straight time 12-hour schedule:
a. Overtime is paid at one and one half (1 ½) times the Nurse’s regular rate for hours worked over forty (40) in a workweek.
b. Double time is paid at two (2) times the Nurse’s regular rate for hours worked over twelve (12) in a workday.
4. Nurses will maintain their established 24-hour “Workdays” for calculating daily overtime, however, all hours worked in a given shift will be attributed to the Workday during which the initial in-punch for that shift takes place. For example, if an 8-hour Nurse has an established Workday of 12:00 midnight to 11:59 pm, and that employee works a 10 hour shift from 9:00 pm to 7:00 am, then all ten hours will be attributed to the previous 24-hour Workday when the 9:00 pm punch-in took place. In this scenario, the Nurse would be paid 8 hours of base pay, and two hours of overtime because all 10 hours are considered to have been worked in the previous 24-hour Workday. The purpose of this “In-Punch” calculation is to “pre-pay” hours worked from a subsequent Workday to a prior Workday in order to maximize the overtime earned and paid to a Nurse when crossing a day divide during a given shift. With the exception of call back, in the event a Nurse has punched out for more than two (2) hours all hours worked upon return will be considered a new shift for the purposes of calculating overtime. In addition, a break in a call back shift creates a new shift for purposes of overtime.
5. Any work time that qualifies as overtime pay under more than one of the above guidelines is paid only once. Example: A Nurse works nine, eight (8) hour workdays in a pay period, and then works nine (...
