Schedule Trades. Trades in schedules mutually agreed to by nurses will be 30 subject to prior authorization by the Employer. The bases upon which the 31 Employer, in its discretion, may withhold authorization are (1) lack of 32 qualifications or orientation of the substituting nurse, or (2) the trade would result 33 in a premium pay obligation which would not otherwise have existed and such 34 premium pay is not waived by the nurse. Waiver of overtime which would violate 1 state or federal law will not be an acceptable waiver under the preceding 2 sentence.

Schedule Trades. There are no restrictions on the number schedule 10 trades between qualified nurses. Although no schedule trade is allowed to result in the 11 payment of premium or overtime pay at the time of the request, such pay shall not be 12 excluded as a result of subsequent work being scheduled by the Medical Center and 13 performed by the nurse following the approval of the trade. The Medical Center may 14 deny a schedule trade request only if the nurse making the request is not qualified, or 15 the exchange will result in overtime or premium pay that would otherwise have not been 16 incurred. Once a trade has been approved the nurse relinquishing the shift has no 17 further responsibility for working the traded shift.
