GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE 36.01 It is agreed that neither the Employer, its representatives and supervisors, nor the Union, will attempt to bring about the settlement of any contractual issue by means other than the grievance procedure.
36.02 A grievance is a dispute or difference between the Employer and the employee covered by this Bargaining Agreement, concerning the interpretation and/or application of this contract. The following procedures shall apply to the administration of all grievances filed under this Agreement, and shall be presented in accordance with the steps outlined below:
Step 1 An employee who believes he may have a grievance shall notify his immediate supervisor(s) of the possible grievance within seven (7) calendar days of the occurrence of the facts giving rise to the grievance. This notification shall be in writing, and shall state the aggrieved employee's name, position, date of alleged grievance, and the portion of the Agreement in question giving rise to this grievance. The presentation of this grievance shall be in the employee's own hand. The supervisor will schedule an informal meeting within seven (7) calendar days after the receipt of the grievance, with the employee, and his associate if requested by the employee, to discuss the issues in dispute with the objective of resolving the matter informally, with a written reply of the meeting to be given to the employee, the Union xxxxxxx, and the Employer.
Step 2 If no satisfactory settlement is reached at the step 1, the grievance may be appealed to the Division Head, or other Employer designate, and the Local Union Staff Representative within seven (7) calendar days after receiving the reply of the step 1. The appeal shall restate the grievance, and shall include proposed remedy sought by the aggrieved party. A step 2 answer, reduced to writing, will be given to the aggrieved party within seven (7) calendar days of receiving the written appeal.

The appeal shall be reduced to writing, shall contain the original grievance and all subsequent answers/decisions, and be in the employee's own hand. A meeting will be held within 14 calendar days after the receipt of the Step 2 reply. A written reply will be issued as a result of this meeting within fourteen
Sick Leave Section 1. Xxxx leave credit will be earned in the following manner for full-time and part-time RNs only, excluding intermittent nurses.
A. One hundred twenty (120) hours shall be credited to a yearly sick leave pool as of the first full pay period in January of each year. Nurses who are not in pay status at the beginning of the year will have their sick hours pro-rated based on the percentage of the year missed. Sick time may be accumulated without limitation. Previously accumulated sick leave of employees shall be credited to their sick leave pool. Sick leave hours are pro-rated according to appointment level for part-time nurses. A physician's excuse is required following the fortieth (40th) consecutive hour of sick leave, when the leave is of a duration greater than forty (40) hours.
B. If the sick leave pool is exhausted any nurse may retroactively use accrued vacation time in lieu of unpaid sick leave.
Section 2. The provisions of this article shall apply to maternity and/or any disability arising therefrom. Sick leave benefit may be utilized for the duration of maternity and/or any resulting physical disability which is validated by a physician's certificate, so long as accrued time is available. When accrued time is not available, unpaid maternity leave is available to allow for a total leave of twelve (12) weeks, including all time taken for child- rearing purposes.
Section 3. If a nurse's physical disability continues beyond the time covered by his/her accumulated sick leave, he/she shall be granted a leave of absence without pay for a period up to six (6) months provided there is evidence submitted to the supervisor as to inability to work and the probable date of return. Upon a successful return to work exam and returning from leave, the nurse will be returned to his/her position if it has not been permanently filled; otherwise he/she shall be given whatever work is available for which he/she is qualified and will be given the first opportunity for consideration to return to his/her position when the position is open.
Section 4. Disability Leave may be granted instead of unpaid leave of absence, if there is no evidence or probable date of the nurse's return to work, or if an illness or disability continues past expiration of the unpaid leave. A nurse who has been given a Disability Leave shall have the right to be reinstated to the same or similar position he/she held at the time of his/her leave within thirty (30) days after written application for reinstatement and after passing a return to work examination by a licensed physician designated by the Center, showing that he/she has recovered from such disability, provided further that such application for reinstatement be filed within three (3) years from the date of separation, and further provided that such application not be filed after the date of service eligibility retirement. The Center will fill vacancies caused by long-term medical leaves that exist for a period of six (6) months, depending upon staffing needs of the department as determined by Center Administration and the employment availability of qualified registered nurses. This section shall not be construed as restricting Center management from taking appropriate action at an earlier date.
Section 5. If a nurse so chooses, he/she may use any earned but unused vacation or compensatory time before being granted a leave of absence without pay. A declaration of intent regarding such usage shall be made prior to the expiration of any accumulated sick leave. Requests to use vacation or compensatory time will not be honored once he/she has been granted an unpaid leave of absence.
Section 6. Nurses reinstated to their former position, recalled from layoff or who re-enter Center employment within ten (10) years shall be credited with any accumulated sick leave balance remaining at the end of their previous service. No prior credit is given if the employee was out of service more than ten (10) years, except for military leave.
Section 7. All previously accumulated and unused and/or unpaid sick leave of a nurse who has been separated from the public service shall be placed in his/her credit upon re- employment at the Center, provided that such re-employment takes place within ten
Termination In the event that either Party seeks to terminate this DPA, they may do so by mutual written consent so long as the Service Agreement has lapsed or has been terminated. Either party may terminate this DPA and any service agreement or contract if the other party breaches any terms of this DPA.
Overtime Overtime will begin to accrue after sixty (60) hours in a two (2) week period averaged over the scheduling period determined by the local parties. Overtime will apply if the employee works in excess of the normal daily hours. Payment for overtime is as in Article 16.01.
HOURS OF WORK i) Where employees are now working a longer daily tour, the provisions set out in this Article governing the regular hours of work on a daily tour shall be adjusted accordingly.
ii) The normal daily extended tour shall be 11.25 consecutive hours in any 24-hour period, exclusive of a total of forty-five (45) minutes of unpaid meal time. For hybrid schedules, there will be scheduled normal daily tours of seven and one-half (7½) hours and 11.25 consecutive hours per day.
iii) Employees working an extended tour shall be entitled, subject to the exigencies of resident care, to paid relief periods during the tour of a total of forty-five (45) minutes. For hybrid schedules, there will also be shifts that provide for relief periods in accordance with Article 15.02.
iv) Scheduling issues will be resolved at the local level.
v) Where the union and the employer have agreed to or agree to an extended daily tour or hybrid schedule that differs from the normal daily extended tour, the proportion of unpaid time to hours of work shall maintain the same ratio as set out in paragraph ii) and iii) of this Article.
Termination for Cause If Vendor fails to materially perform pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, TIPS shall provide written notice to Vendor specifying the default. If Vendor does not cure such default within thirty (30) days, TIPS may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, for cause. If TIPS terminates this Agreement for cause, and it is later determined that the termination for cause was wrongful, the termination shall automatically be converted to and treated as a termination for convenience.
