Recognition for Previous Experience. All nurses hired during the term of this Agreement shall be, subject to Section 7.5.1, placed on the salary schedule experience step which is equal to one continuous year full time employment with another employer as a registered nurse would equal one step on the salary schedule.
Recognition for Previous Experience. Nurses first employed during the term of this Agreement shall be compensated at a salary level equal to the nurse’s number of years of continuous recent experience in nursing. For purposes of this section, continuous recent experience shall be defined as relevant clinical nursing experience, with due consideration to breaks in nursing experience which would impact the level of nursing skills, as determined by the Employer.
Recognition for Previous Experience. Nurses hired and per diem nurses transferring into a full-time or part-time position, during the life of this Agreement, as it may be extended by the parties, shall be given credit for prior comparable registered nursing experience on a year-for-year basis. LPN experience will be credited as one (1) year for each three (3) years of LPN experience, maximum credit of three (3) RN years to nine (9) LPN years. No credit will be given for LPN experience of less than three (3) years. Non-comparable nursing experience will be credited as one (1) year for each two (2) years of such experience. If a newly- hired nurse has years of experience equal to part of a year, the total years of experience will be rounded down to the nearest year, i.e., 7 and 1/2 years shall equal 7 years, for placements on the wage scale. The Hospital reserves the right to determine previous RN experience for placement on the wage schedule. Each nurse is responsible to provide the Hospital proof of prior nursing experience.
Recognition for Previous Experience. Nurses hired during the life of this Agreement shall be given full credit for recent experience when placed on the wage schedule. Recent experience shall be defined as nursing experience in an approved health care setting as determined by the Medical Center. It shall remain the prerogative of the Medical Center to establish at which step in the schedule to place newly hired nurses in all other circumstances. Placement in the wage schedule based on previous experience has no impact on the accrual of benefits, determining seniority, or computing time for awards of recognition. Effective January 1, 2004, nurses who are paid at a step which is lower than their experience as defined by this Agreement, where there are nurses with the same or lower years of experience who are paid at a higher step, will be advanced one (1) step each January, commencing January 2004, until equity is achieved.

For currently-employed Hospice Nurses, compensation at the rate discussed above will be retroactive to January 12, 2014. For purposes of this section, continuous recent experience shall be defined as relevant clinical nursing experience, with due consideration to breaks in nursing experience which would impact the level of nursing skills, as determined by the Employer.

The effective date for implementing such an adjustment will be the first full pay period following thirty (30) days after the determination of all requests.
