Reduction in FTE Status Sample Clauses
The 'Reduction in FTE Status' clause defines the terms and conditions under which an employee's full-time equivalent (FTE) status may be decreased, either temporarily or permanently. This clause typically outlines the process for notifying the employee, the impact on salary and benefits, and any requirements for mutual agreement or advance notice. Its core function is to provide a clear framework for adjusting work hours or employment status, thereby helping both employers and employees manage changes in workload or organizational needs while minimizing misunderstandings.
Reduction in FTE Status. If a reduction in FTE is determined by the Employer to be necessary, the Employer will first seek volunteers from the department or unit and shift to accomplish these changes. If there are insufficient volunteers, the least senior employee(s) in the affected classification, department or unit and shift will receive the FTE reduction unless that employee possesses a specific qualification(s) necessary to the operation of the department or unit in the opinion of the Employer. Any employee subject to an involuntary reduction in his/her FTE will be given preference up to the employee’s prior position (FTE) if the Employer seeks to expand the hours of an existing FTE in the same classification on the employee’s department or unit and shift, providing there is no conflict between their current schedule and the schedule related to the posted hours.
Reduction in FTE Status. If a nurse’s FTE status is reduced, this differential will be payable to the nurse only for extra shifts worked after the completion of 26 full pay periods following the nurse’s FTE reduction, with the exception of a change from a 40-hour to a full-time 36-hour per week shift.
Reduction in FTE Status. If a reduction in FTE is determined by the Employer to be necessary, the least senior employee(s) in the job classification on the shift will receive the FTE reduction. The Employer will first seek volunteers from the shift to accomplish these changes. Any employee subject to an involuntary reduction in his/her FTE will be given preference up to his/her prior FTE if the Employer seeks to expand the hours of an existing FTE on the employee's shift.
Reduction in FTE Status. Reduction in hours shall be defined as a permanent reduction of an employee’s FTE level. If a reduction in FTE is determined by the Employer to be necessary, impacted employees and the Union will be provided at least four (4) weeks’ written notice prior to implementing a reduction of an employee’s FTE level. The Employer will first seek volunteers from the department and shift to accomplish these changes. If there are volunteers, the least senior volunteer(s) in the affected classification will be given a reduction in FTE. If there are insufficient volunteers, the least senior employee(s) in the affected classification, department and shift will receive the FTE reduction unless that employee possesses a specific qualification(s) necessary to the operation of the department in the opinion of the Employer. If an employee’s FTE is reduced by .2 FTE or more, that employee may elect to be laid off in accordance with this Agreement.
Reduction in FTE Status. If a reduction in FTE is determined by the Hospital to be necessary, the least senior nurse on the affected shift on the affected unit will receive the FTE reduction. The Hospital will first seek volunteers from the affected shift on the affected unit to accomplish this reduction. The nurse designated for an involuntary FTE reduction may displace the position (FTE) of the least senior nurse on another shift in the same unit, providing the nurse displaced on the other shift has less seniority. A nurse whose FTE is involuntarily reduced below the eligibility for group health insurance, or by 0.2 FTE or greater, shall have layoff options per Section 8.6. A nurse affected by an involuntary reduction in FTE will be given preference up to his/her prior FTE position if the Hospital thereafter expands the budgeted, positioned FTE on the affected nurse’s unit and shift, providing there is no conflict between the nurse’s then current schedule and the anticipated schedule related to the additional FTE hours.
