Shift Length. A. No nurses will be required to move from an 8-hour shift to a 12-hour shift or a 12-hour shift to an 8-hour shift, for the first 90 days following ratification of this agreement. If the Medical Center thereafter determines that 8-hour shifts or 12-hour shifts are no longer workable in a particular unit, the Medical Center will give notice of no less than 90 days that the unit will move to 8-hour shifts or 12- hour shifts, and no nurse will be required to move to 8-hour shifts or 12-hour shifts prior to the expiration of the 90-day period. The Medical Center will offer nurses on the unit an equivalent position, working 8-hour shifts or 12-hour shifts. If the nurse does not accept such an offered position, the nurse may remain in the position continuing to work 8-hour shifts or 12-hour shifts, for a period of up to 90 days; hereafter, the nurse’s 8-hour or 12-hour position will be eliminated and, unless the nurse has found an alternative position within the Medical Center, the nurse’s employment with the Medical Center will end. Any PTO request already approved will be honored. Nurses working an 8-hour day shift position will not be required to take a 12-hour night shift position, and Nurses working an 8-hour night shift position will not be required to take a 12-hour day shift position; however, the Medical Center may offer nurses working an 8-hour evening shift position either a 12-hour day or night shift position based on departmental need, in accordance with the remainder of this Section. Evening shift nurses may declare their shift preference within 30 days of any announcement of a change to a 12-hour shift schedule on their unit. Any nurse who does not receive his or her declared, preferred shift will receive a first opportunity to fill a vacant position on the nurse’s declared, preferred shift for which he or she is qualified. In the event that two or more previously displaced nurses with such first opportunity rights both want the same position, the nurse with greater seniority will be given the position and any nurse with less seniority will retain first opportunity rights for future vacant positions on his or her preferred shift. A nurse who does not declare a shift preference will not receive such first opportunity rights.

In exceptional circumstances (for example long-distance transfers) if a break cannot be completed during the shift, staff will be eligible for a missed break allowance and 30 minutes time off in lieu. Further information on these allowances can be found in Section 6. Normally a meal break will not be allocated in the last hour of the shift. In the event that a meal break is allocated within the last hour this must be at their base station and commence 30 minutes prior to the end of the shift. When considering the provision of a late break outside of the final hour of a shift, it should be noted that the allocation of this meal break should not directly lead to employees finishing past their planned end of shift time.
