Each department at NMC will have a productivity target (hours per week/pay period) set by the NMC CEO. It is the department managers’ responsibility to regularly monitor their departments productivity to ensure the department is meeting their per statistic (for direct patient care departments), per week or per pay period target. In the event a department exceeds the target threshold. Prior to making this determination, the department manager will review the productive hours (to include all employees, including management) to determine if they have met their target. Time not counted towards productive hours include: vacation, compensatory time off, or sick leave (if taken prior to a call off). For purposes of determining productivity, productive hours include but are not limited to the following: training, orientation, workers compensation (light duty worked hours), temporary employees and registry. 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.
