Offering Premium Hours. It is the employer’s responsibility to assign shifts and overtime in the most cost effective and efficient manner.

A nurse in an enhanced premium position is a nurse who is in a position of potentially gaining more than a single premium shift. (b) Attempts to cover the full shift will be made first.

If the employee can do only one (1) or two (2), the tour(s) is given to the employee and the hospital then follows the list to cover the remaining tour(s). (e) A call made is considered an overtime shift offered.
