Call Offs may be implemented during the course of a day, week, or pay-period as determined by the department manager. The Call Off order and maximum amount of Call Off hours will follow Section 10.1.A. and Section 10.1.G, respectively. When an employee is called off, they may utilize accrued vacation and/or comp time, or floating holiday. In the event the CEO determines that patient census and the hospital’s and/or department/departments’ total productive hours have not met the required threshold after a two-week period, he has the discretion to place a department or departments on a holidy schedule (close department or reduce regular work hours for a department). This may be done in conjunction with a County recognized holiday (i.e. the work day before or the work day after a recognized County holiday. Notice to employees cannot be less than 14 days prior to the requested “Call Off day.” However, in the event that a County Holiday is more than a month away, the NMC CEO may select a day to be determined by him to place a department/departments on a holiday schedule (close department or reduce regular work hours of a department). In no event shall a department or departments be placed on a holiday schedule more than six (6) times in a fiscal year.
