Regular Part-time Core Nurses Sample Clauses

Regular Part-time Core Nurses. Regular part-time core nurses are those nurses who are regularly scheduled to work at least forty (40) hours in a fourteen (14)-day pay period. Part-time nurses may receive the premium pay in lieu of fringe benefits and side benefits as provided in Section B of Appendix A, or elect to receive part-time benefits as provided therein. For the purpose of establishing and maintaining status as a regular part-time core employee, each overtime hour shall count as one (1) hour worked. Regular part-time core status will not be affected by approved uncompensated time off, HCD or low census time which removes an RN from a posted schedule, approved educational leave whether paid or unpaid, or other approved leave of absence. Part-time nurses may schedule uncompensated time off utilized at a rate in proportion to their position hours to a full-time position and to their length of continuous service as outlined in Article 3.D (maximum accrued per year). Such scheduled time off shall be subject to Hospital approval, which shall reflect consideration of scheduled time off for other nurses, patient census, and available nursing skills. Any uncompensated time off that a part-time core nurse may take beyond a proportional share of the maximum will affect part-time core status unless it is made up in additional work hours.
