Seniority shall not be broken by leaves of absence of less than six (6) months, unless otherwise stated in the contract. 2. In the event of a resignation from the bargaining unit of twelve (12) calendar months or less, seniority shall be reinstated to date of hire, less time of lay off or resignation from the bargaining unit, unless otherwise stated in the contract. 3. The Hospital agrees to allow any regularly scheduled employee to restore hours lost due to mandatory absence (MA) on a bargaining unit seniority basis when unscheduled hours become available. 4. The Hospital reserves the right to disqualify any employee, for the balance of the schedule, who fails to be available after indicating their availability. 5. The provisions of this Section shall apply for the purpose of maintaining regularly scheduled hours, to the extent possible. 6. The remedy for omissions and errors in administering this Section shall be prospective by providing preferential treatment regardless of seniority for unscheduled hours until the inequity is corrected. 7. It is further understood that this mutual agreement is intended to allow employees to recapture previously scheduled hours lost due to low workload so long as such recapture does not result in the payment of wages at premium or overtime rates, therefore, these recaptured hours will be payable at straight time only. The Hospital may choose not to assign hours under this section if the result of such assignment is to create an overtime or premium obligation.
