– FULL-TIME AND PTO EMPLOYEES. 1.01 Unless otherwise expressly incorporated into Parts II or III of this collective agreement, the provisions in this Part shall apply only to full-time and PTO employees (as defined in Article (A).
1.02 It is expressly recognized that, from time to time, the Employer utilizes the services of persons who are not directly employed by the Employer and are assigned or otherwise directed to the Employer for the purposes of internship, educational, training, rehabilitative or exchange programs and that such individuals are not encompassed by the bargaining unit defined in Article A. It is expressly recognized that the Employer contracts from time to time with various health care agencies whose employees render services in association with the Employer and its employees. The employees of such agencies are not included in the bargaining unit defined in Article A and nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Employer to continue in or to enter into such arrangements. The Employer agrees, however, that the services of the persons and agencies referred to in the foregoing paragraph will not be utilized to displace full-time employees now in the bargaining unit or to perform on a full-time basis work which is now performed exclusively by full-time employees in the bargaining unit. This provision will not be used in a manner that results in the layoff or loss of regularly scheduled hours of PTO or PTU employees.
1.03 Employees who are excluded from the bargaining unit shall not perform duties normally performed by employees in the bargaining unit, which shall directly cause or result in the layoff of PTO, PTU or full-time employee(s) in the bargaining unit.
