It would be the intent of the Employer that ongoing increased hours of work on a specific department or unit and shift that are not the result of temporary leaves, scheduling requests for time off, or temporary increases in work load would be made available for current staff on the specific unit and shift to increase their FTE in accordance with Section 5.8. If such ongoing increased hours of work persist for a period in excess of three (3) months, an employee may request in writing to the Director of Human Resources that these hours be posted. The Director of Human Resources or designee within her or his sole discretion will determine the appropriateness of the request based on the above criteria and respond within fourteen (14) days of the request for review.

This review shall not apply to supplemental employees who are working hours on a temporary basis to cover vacations, sick calls or leaves of absence, to cover a position vacancy or for a special project. If the FTE meets the requirements set out above, the FTE must be posted within 14 days of the determination and the provisions of Article 5.8, Posting of Vacancies, will apply. The Employer retains discretion to post or not to post such hours, based upon its approval process, but will respond to the employee’s request within fourteen (14) days of the request.
