Common use of Offering of Additional Shifts Clause in Contracts

Offering of Additional Shifts. (a) Additional shifts that become available after the schedule is posted will be offered by seniority to regular part-time nurses as per the declared availability. The Employer will contact by phone or electronically all such nurses in order of seniority until a nurse tentatively agrees to the shift. A nurse with greater seniority will have two hours from the call to the more junior nurse, to claim the shift. If a senior nurse fails to respond within two hours of messages left for the nurse, the shift will be confirmed with the nurse who accepted and agrees to be scheduled for the shift. If a more senior nurse claims the shift, the more junior nurse will be advised as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the two hour period.
