Salary and Benefit Computation. For purposes of this Agreement and the method of computing sick leave, annual leave, and other conditions of employment, except as otherwise provided for herein, a “year” shall be defined as 2080 hours of work. For purposes of computing longevity (wage) increments and annual leave progression steps, a “year” shall be defined as 1664 hours of work or twelve (12) months, whichever comes last. Time worked which is paid on an overtime basis shall count as time worked for purposes of computing wage and benefits not to exceed 2080 hours within any twelve (12) month period. Regular full-time and part-time nurses who are asked not to report for work as scheduled because of low census shall also have their low census day hours count for purposes of computing service increments and accrual of fringe benefits. Nurses shall be eligible to receive accrued benefits on a calendar year basis, but their benefits shall be computed on the basis of actual hours paid, including overtime and low census hours up to two thousand eighty (2,080) paid hours. Service increments shall become effective at the beginning of the first payroll period following completion of one (1) year of employment as defined above.
