Low Census/Daily Reduction in Hours. In the event of an anticipated need for clinicians not working all or part of one of their scheduled working days at the request of PHHH/Benedictine due to low census, clinicians without a full patient visit load for the day will first be informed of available alternate assignments for the impacted workday and given the opportunity to volunteer to take the alternate assignment as outlined in Section M. PHHH/Benedictine will not assign partial day low census/daily reduction in hours when a clinician has assigned work other than patient visits that can be performed for the remainder of their workday. When PHHH/Xxxxxxxxxxx requests that a clinician not work all or part of a scheduled workday, the following order for assigning time off shall be used:
1. Volunteers to take the time off shall be sought in the shift of the clinical unit affected. PHHH/Xxxxxxxxxxx and a regular clinician volunteer may agree that the clinician will take the time off ahead of a per diem clinician on the same shift and unit. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a “same shift and unit” exists where both the volunteer and the per diem clinician on a shift of the same clinical unit have the same starting and ending times for that shift.

4. Regular clinicians working an extra shift on the shift of the clinical unit affected will be assigned such time off using a system of rotation.
5. The remaining regular clinicians on the shift of the clinical unit affected will be assigned such time off using a system of rotation. The rotation system shall include volunteer time taken. Rotation shall be subject to temporary variation because of scheduled days off, absences, inability to contact the clinician whose turn in the rotation it is, or when PHHH/Benedictine cannot otherwise provide from among available and qualified clinicians for the remaining work required to be done. If the Union believes that such rotation during the monthly period covered by the preceding posted work schedule has resulted in inequitable distribution of such days not worked, it may ask to discuss this with PHHH/Benedictine. Upon such a request from the Union, PHHH/Xxxxxxxxxxx will meet with a Union commi...
