Mandatory Low Census. If low census, is still needed after going through this order, the Employer will endeavor to rotate use of the low census fund equitably among all nurses on a unit on each shift (on each campus) starting with the least senior nurse first, providing skills, competence, ability and availability are considered substantially equal in the opinion of the Employer. If an individual volunteers to take a low census day off, that day off shall be counted for purposes of the rotation list. The rotation list will be restarted January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning with the least senior nurse. Subject to skill, competency and ability, agency nurses and per diem nurses on the unit subject to low census shall be released from work prior to implementing mandatory low census. A traveling nurse who is employed on a contract basis for a defined period of weeks shall participate in the rotation of low census with other full-time and part-time employees.
