Shift and Day Off Scheduling Sample Clauses

Shift and Day Off Scheduling. Shifts and days off shall be distributed in an equitable manner. Upon the RN's request a good faith effort will be made to schedule nurses to work consecutive days. In the event that the Hospital determines a need to alter the normal scheduling patterns (regular days on/off) on a unit and shift, it shall when deemed appropriate by management based upon the clinical needs of the unit, seek volunteers first. If more than enough volunteers come forward who meet the clinical needs of the Medical Center, selection will be determined on the basis of seniority. If the clinical needs cannot be met, the Medical Center will then alter the schedules of the least senior nurse(s) that will meet the scheduling need.
