Common use of Duty Hours and Moonlighting Clause in Contracts

Duty Hours and Moonlighting. The Trainee shall perform his/her duties under this Agreement during such hours as the Program Director may direct in accordance with the GME Duty Hour Policy set forth in the Trainee Manual. The Duty Hour Policy shall comply with state, federal and ACGME requirements. Periodic monitoring of each Trainee’s work hours will be done regularly by the Program and the results shall be reported to the GME Office to ensure compliance with the policy. In particular, the Trainee shall be expected to log his/her hours in New Innovations as specified by the Program and the GME Office. It is expected that with diligent monitoring of hours and appropriate support there will be no duty hour violations. Any duty hour violations shall be reviewed by the Program and a corrective action plan will be established to eliminate future violations. Ongoing duty hour violations risk the viability of the Program and may result in disciplinary action against the Trainee as outlined in Section 11 of the Agreement. Professional and patient care activities that are external to the educational program are called moonlighting. Moonlighting is expressly prohibited unless Trainee has (1) the advance written permission of the Program Director, (2) a full Massachusetts medical license, and (3) authority to moonlight under the terms of any relevant visa. Permission may be granted at the Program Director’s sole discretion provided criteria for eligibility are consistent with the Medical Center’s GME Moonlighting Policy set forth in the Trainee Manual. No Trainee may be required to engage in moonlighting activities.
