Employment Status and Seniority. 11 A. An APP employed by the Hospital shall be considered a probationary employee during for 12 the first twelve (12) months after their date of hire (i.e., commencement of employment) of their 13 employment, and is subject to corrective action under Article 5 (up to and including termination) 14 without recourse to the arbitration procedure in Article 13B below to challenge whether the 15 termination was for just cause under Article 5. All other provisions of this Agreement will apply to 16 such probationary employees. Probationary employees may be terminated from employment at 17 any time in the twelve (12) month probationary period (i.e., it is not a guarantee of employment for 18 a specific term).
20 B. All APPs shall give the Hospital as much notice of intended resignation as possible to allow 21 for the orderly hiring of replacements. In no event should APPs provide less than 60 calendar 22 days’ written notice of intended resignation. Given the duration of necessary credentialing, a 90- 23 day notice is preferred.
25 C. As of the effective date of this Agreement, “seniority” is calculated based on total years of 26 service worked as an APP in a department of LMG or an affiliated Legacy operation. 28 In the event two or more employees have the same seniority, seniority of the one as against 29 the other shall be determined by giving the greater seniority credit to the employee with the longer 30 total length of Legacy employment in any other position. If a tie remains, then by the total length of 31 APP licensure in either Oregon or Washington, whichever is older.
