Common use of Rest Practices and Potential Reduction in Hours Clause in Contracts

Rest Practices and Potential Reduction in Hours. If an employee is called back to work between two regularly scheduled shifts of work such that ten (10) hours off duty are not afforded, the employee may request not to work the second scheduled shift before that shift begins. Alternatively, the employee may request to appear for work at a later time during the scheduled shift, such that ten (10) hours off are afforded. This provision shall not apply to situations where the call back occurs following a scheduled day off. If the employee’s request not to work the second scheduled shift cannot be granted, the Medical Center will pay time and one half (1½) the employee’s regular hourly rate of pay during the regularly scheduled shift. In the event of a reduction in force on that shift, such an employee shall be the first employee to be reduced in hours on that shift. However, if the overtime employee waives the time and one half (1½), the employee will become part of the general pool of employees being considered for reduced hours, under Article 11 of the Agreement.
