Common use of Outpatient Department Weekend Scheduling Clause in Contracts

Outpatient Department Weekend Scheduling. For shifts not covered by employees that provide weekend coverage per article 7.6, the Employer shall first make weekend shifts needing coverage available for staff to volunteer for at the home clinic. Thereafter, employees within the districts defined below, shall have the opportunity to voluntarily sign-up for weekend shifts. The Employer will devise a means for all employees to indicate their interest for additional weekend work in the districts. A weekend shift voluntarily signed up for will normally be built into the employee’s regular FTE, except that a part-time employee may volunteer for a weekend shift to be an additional shift beyond their regular FTE (provided it does not incur overtime). If there are weekend shifts that remain unfilled after these first two (2) steps, the Employer will assign remaining weekend shifts to employees within the districts on a rotational basis, beginning with the least senior person and proceeding on a rotational basis through all employees in the districts. If an employee who comes up in the rotation is already signed up for two (2) weekends in a given month, that employee will be skipped in the rotation and signed up for the next weekend shift needing rotational coverage where the employee is not already scheduled for two (2) weekends in that month. If a weekend shift becomes vacant after the coverage schedule has been made, but before the full work schedule is posted for a given month (for instance, due to an employee leaving employment), that shift shall be assigned to the next employee in the rotation. When new employees are hired into vacant shifts that include weekends, employees that were scheduled into weekend shifts, either due to voluntary or assigned rotation process, shall revert back to their regular schedules. The districts are as follows: FHC, NGT & BLR: Supported by Seattle District (FHC, NGT, DTW, RVM, SLU, BLR) TAS: Supported by Tahoma District (TAS, TAC, PLP) BVU: Supported by East King District (BVU, RED, FAC) EVM: Supported by Snohomish District (EVM, SMK) LYM: Supported by Snohomish District (LYM, NSH) RNT & FED: Supported by South King District (RNT, FED, KNT, BRN) OLY: Supported by Olympia District (OLY, WOY) SIL: Supported by Peninsula District (SIL, PBO, PRT, GGH) RFM: Supported by Spokane District (RFM, LWH, VRH, SRH, KYM, NPM, LHT)
