A Temporary Position may be either a new position for the designated period or a temporary vacancy of a Regular Position.

All other provisions are applicable to the Nurse in a Temporary Position unless specified otherwise. (c) A Nurse filling a Temporary Position may be required to complete the original term or duration of the Temporary Position subject to the operationally requirements of the Employer. This does not prevent a Nurse from applying for and commencing a Regular Position, or a Temporary Position that provides for an increase in hours over the current Temporary Position. (d) A Nurse filling a Temporary Position shall be entitled to participate in the Benefit Plans in accordance with the terms of eligibility of the respective Plans. (e) The Employer has no obligation to post Temporary Positions except as required in Article 12.00 (a)(iii). The Employer will make every effort to have one Nurse fill a Temporary Position. Where the Employer posts a vacant Temporary Position, the Employer shall indicate on the posting, the expected duration of the Temporary Position. The Temporary Position may be extended, shortened or terminated at the Employer’s discretion.
