Common use of Part-Time Smoothing Clause in Contracts

Part-Time Smoothing. The provisions of Article 7.07(a) (b) and (c) also apply to a “smoothed” Part-Time Nurse. If a Regular or Temporary Part-Time Nurse requests, and if the Employer agrees, and with no less than thirty (30) days notice to the Employer, the Employer shall average (“smooth”) the regular bi-weekly earnings of the Nurse based on her designated appointment status. The Nurse shall be scheduled over the designated rotation period to average his or her designated appointment. This provision does not alter the application of Articles 7.20, 7.21, 7.22, or 7.23 to a “smoothed” Part-Time Nurse, nor does it remove the right of a “smoothed” Part- Time Nurse to overtime compensation, based on actual hours worked (rather than hours “smoothed”). Not applicable to a Nurse Practitioner. (See Article 7.31 and 7.32)
