Common use of Low Seniority Roster Clause in Contracts

Low Seniority Roster. The "Low Seniority Roster" shall be compiled listing the positions held by the least senior full-time and part-time nurses in the bargaining unit. The Low Seniority Roster shall identify positions, including split positions, by unit(s), shift, and FTE. The size of the Low Seniority Roster will be the five (5) least senior positions in the bargaining unit (including any vacant positions that have not been filled in accordance with the job posting provisions of this Agreement), plus an additional number of positions (moving up the seniority roster) equal to the number of nurses whose positions are identified for layoff or reassignment on that particular occasion. If the Low Seniority Roster contains positions for which the Hospital deems the Displaced Nurses would not be qualified to bump, additional positions shall be added (moving up the seniority roster) until the number of available positions conforms to the above formula. (Example: If the positions of three RNs are identified for layoff/ reassignment, the Low Seniority Roster would consist of the eight (8) least senior nurse positions in the bargaining unit. However, if two of these eight (8) least senior positions were positions for which the Hospital deemed the Displaced Nurses were not qualified, two more positions would be added for which the nurses would be qualified so that there would be eight (8) positions available.) The combined FTEs of the positions on the Low Seniority Roster must equal at least the combined FTEs of the positions identified for layoff. No more than twenty- five percent (25%) of a unit's positions will go on the Low Seniority Roster. In this event the next least senior positions will be substituted from the bargaining unit seniority list.
