Common use of Low Census Days Clause in Contracts

Low Census Days. The Employer shall exercise its best efforts to rotate low census days equitably by hours on each shift within a department. Prior to instituting mandatory low census, the Employer will endeavor to first cancel agency personnel, employees working in an overtime condition except when the employee is working the employee’s regularly scheduled shift, volunteers, on-call employees and employees working extra shifts. Regular full-time and eligible part-time employees who work reduced schedules at the request of the Employer shall continue to accrue all benefits as if they had worked a normal schedule; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall an employee be credited with more than 2080 hours of work for purposes of benefit accrual during any one (1) twelve (12) calendar month period. The Employer will notify employees of low census at least one and one-half (1 1/2) hours prior to the beginning of their scheduled shift. When an employee is placed on low census, the employee shall not be expected to be available to report for duty during that shift if called unless they have been placed on low census standby. If the employee is called in to work from low census standby, they shall receive one and one-half (1 1/2) times their regular rate of pay for a minimum of three (3) hours. The low census hours/turn shall be posted in each department/unit in an accessible location for employees. If the low census rate is excessive and chronic on a particular unit, the Conference Committee will meet to discuss the situation.
