Recall to a Different Position. A nurse may reject a position offered in recall which is different from the position held by the nurse prior to layoff without loss of recall rights under this Agreement.
Recall to a Different Position. An individual on a recall list shall have first right of refusal for any vacancy at the same or lower DBM that they held at the time of layoff, within their bargaining unit, for which they possess the minimum qualifications. The first right of refusal shall be offered to these individuals on layoff in bargaining unit seniority order. The employeeaccepting such an offer shall serve a trial period in the new position during which time the supervisor and employee may assess the fit for the position. If either party determines that it is not a good fit, the employee shall be returned to the recall list for the duration of their original layoff period. The recall period is not extended by an employee accepting a position and returning to the recall list. Once an employee accepts a recall position, either with fewer hours than the position from which they were laid off, or at a lower grade, rather than returning to their “lay-off” classification, the employer is not required to offer them additional positions. An employee in such a situation will, however, remain on the recall list for their “lay-off” classification or pre-lay-off hours for the duration of their recall period. An employee in this situation is also eligible to apply for or request a transfer to an open position. If an individual on the recall list refuses such an opportunity, they shall remain on the recall list for the duration of their recall period.
