Common use of Scheduling of PTO Clause in Contracts

Scheduling of PTO. The Hospital and CIR recognize that the operational requirements of the hospital and training program standards are such that Residents are required to be available for duty on a 7-day per week, 24-hour per day basis. It is acknowledged that scheduling is a function of these requirements and is structured on the basis of equal blocks of calendar days rather than on the basis of a conventional 5-day, 40-hour work week. In recognition of this, paid leave time or Paid Time Off (PTO) is defined in terms of calendar days and is awarded in increments consistent with scheduling requirements rather than on the basis of work days as is the case with other Hospital employees.
