LETTER OF AGREEMENT ON HIRING PREFERENCES FOR OTHER PROVIDENCE NURSES. The parties recognize and agree that it is a unique experience to work in Oregon as a nurse in an acute-care facility that adheres to the mission and core values of Providence. In recognition of that unique experience tied to the mission and core values of Providence, the Medical Center agrees that nurses who are otherwise in good standing with a separate Providence employer in Oregon and who have been laid off from such employment within the prior six months and who apply for an open position will be hired over other external applicants, provided that the Medical Center determines in good faith that such nurse is qualified for the job. For purposes of this Letter of Agreement, “good standing” includes: (1) the nurse has not received any corrective action within the previous two years; (2) the nurse has not received an overall score of “needs improvement” or lower at any time in the last two years; and (3) that the nurse has not engaged in any behaviors or misconduct that would have reasonably resulted in corrective action from the time of the announcement of the layoff until the time of the nurse’s application for employment. In any case where there are more qualified applicant nurses from other Providence employers than there are open positions at the Medical Center, the Medical Center will select the nurse with the earliest Providence hire date, unless another nurse is substantially better qualified. This agreement will only be honored for Providence nurses with a different Providence employer when a similar agreement with regards to hiring exists in the Association contract if any of that nurses former Providence employer.
