Extra Shifts, Principles. It is understood that if the assignment of an additional shift would result in premium payment to an employee under any article of the collective agreement then such assignment will be not made unless approved by the Hospital and no other options have been identified. A regular part-time employee who refuses a vacancy will not be eligible for another until all other eligible regular part-time employees (as set out in the process below) have been given an opportunity to work a vacancy in accordance with this Letter of Understanding. The Manager may add or split available shifts to create full shifts (8’s) after the call-in procedure has been exhausted. Acceptance of a temporary long term absence must be communicated in writing to the Manager or delegate of the department within forty-eight (48) hours of an offer. Failure to respond within forty-eight (48) hours will be deemed a refusal. Any regular part-time employee who chooses not to be a part of this Letter of Understanding shall indicate so in writing to the Manager of the Department. Request for re-instatement must be submitted in writing. Such employee will be placed last on the list, above the employee who last accepted a long term absence. The offer of hours in accordance with the process set out below will be on the basis of seniority on a rotational basis, to the extent feasible. It is understood that refusal to accept a short or long term absence as presented represents a declined opportunity and the Hospital will then continue to work through the rotational list for this and future opportunities. Casual employees will indicate their availability four (4) weeks in advance of the posted schedule and shifts will be offered based on that availability. For the purposes of short-term absences, it is understood that a call made constitutes an offer.
