Per Diem Scheduling Sample Clauses
The Per Diem Scheduling clause defines how temporary or as-needed work shifts are assigned and managed for employees who are not on a regular schedule. Typically, this clause outlines the process for offering available shifts, the method for employees to accept or decline assignments, and any requirements for minimum or maximum hours. It ensures flexibility for both the employer and the employee, allowing staffing levels to be adjusted based on fluctuating needs while providing clear expectations for per diem workers.
Per Diem Scheduling a. All communications regarding scheduling of per diems will be with the Clinical Director or designee. No other communications between the employer and the per diem will be binding on either party in regards to scheduling.
b. For the purpose of advance scheduling, per diems shall submit their availability for the following month by the 15th of the previous month. For each date that a per diem makes themselves available, they shall state the specific hours each day that they are available.
c. The schedule will be posted no later than the 25th of the preceding month. Only time for which the per diem made themselves available will be included in the schedule unless the Clinical Director requests a variation from the per diem and the per diem voluntarily changes their availability.
d. Once the schedule is posted, either the per diem or the Clinical Director may cancel a scheduled shift with as much notice as possible, but as long as 24 hours notice is provided except in cases of unforeseen emergencies. Cancellation of part of a scheduled shift shall only be by mutual agreement. If the employer fails to give notice prior to the close of the business day, the per diem shall be paid for the hours they would have worked as indicated on the posted schedule at their hourly rate as per 6.1c above. In the event that a per diem cancels with less than 24 hours notice due to a non-emergent circumstance (illness of employee and/or employee dependent shall be considered an emergent circumstance for the purposes of cancellation), the employer may cancel the per diem’s next scheduled shift.
e. Per Diems will only be expected to work the hours that they made themselves available for. Per diems may make themselves available for visits or hours, at their individual discretion. This shall only apply to hours or visits in excess of weekend and holiday requirements.
f. For days that per diems are not scheduled on the monthly schedule, the Clinical Director or designated supervisor may call the per diem to ascertain whether the per diem is willing to make such unscheduled visits which the per diem may volunteer to make regardless of whether the per diem had previously listed that day on their monthly availability or not.
Per Diem Scheduling. Provided work is available, per diem employees shall preschedule themselves to work a minimum of five (5) shifts per work schedule period, including at least two (2) shifts on a weekend.

Per Diem Scheduling. Per diem nurses must submit availability for four (4) shifts per four-week scheduling period, pursuant to the process outlined below.
A. The four (4) shifts will include any open shifts prior to schedule being posted via the electronical scheduling tool excluding partial shifts. These shifts do not include overtime, extra incentive, or double-time, or shifts picked up during an opted-out schedule.
B. Be available to work one weekend shift per four (4)-week scheduling period, or one evening, or night shift per four (4)-week scheduling period, unless hired to a specific shift. (Note: Non-24-hour Departments that are routinely closed weekends are exempt.) Per diem nurses who work in Surgical Services shall make themselves available for one
(1) call shifts per scheduling period; this one (1) shift counts toward the four (4) shift obligation.
C. Be available to work on one holiday that is posted as open in a calendar year. The holiday will rotate between spring/summer (▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day) and fall/winter holidays (Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or New Year’s Day).
D. Process – The Medical Center will use the following process to schedule Per diem nurses:
1. Based on FTE 0.6 to 1.0 nurses’ schedules, the Medical Center will identify gaps and post open shifts in the schedule by the posting deadline for the Open Scheduling Period, which may include pending paid time off requests or approved time off.
2. Each Per diem nurse will submit their availability during the first five (5) days of the Open Scheduling Period based on the open shifts that are posted.
3. If a manager/designee is unable to identify a list of gaps or open shifts in the schedule, each Per diem nurse will still communicate four (4) shift availability days to their manager prior to unit schedule posting.
4. The Medical Center will assign shifts to Per diem nurses beginning with the first nurse who submitted their availability and proceeding in order of the date and time that the nurse submitted their availability.
5. A Per diem nurse may request to completely opt out of one (1) schedule period each calendar year, provided the nurse notifies the Medical Center at least one (1) entire schedule period in advance of the preparation of the work schedule. A Per diem nurse may not opt out of the same schedule time frame two (2) years in a row. The Medical Center will make reasonable efforts to accommodate such requests, subject to patient care needs.

Per Diem Scheduling. Provided work is available, per diem employees shall preschedule themselves to work a minimum of five (5) shifts per work schedule period, including at least two (2) shifts on a weekend. If work is not available, Per Diem employees shall preschedule themselves to work a pro-rated minimum based on the work available and the amount of Per diem staff. Shifts worked as a result of a voluntary shift trade are excluded from the minimum work requirements. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, per diem employees must work a total of six (6) shifts per scheduling period, provided the work is available. A scheduled shift that is cancelled shall count as a worked shift. Per Diem employees who do not satisfy the scheduling requirement for two (2) months in a rolling six month period may be subject to corrective action. Per diem employees, where feasible, receive hours of work by seniority, provided skills and ability are relatively equal in the judgement of the Employer, and except where it is necessary to divide work among employees in per diem status to maintain skills.
