Temporary Reduction in Staffing. In the event that a Hospital determines that it is necessary to reduce staffing at a component on a given shift due to a reduced workload, the following procedures will apply subject to patient care needs and so long as the remaining employees are fully competent to cover the actual and anticipated patients and work load: First, volunteers will be solicited. If there are no volunteers, then Travelers, then any per diem Technologist Employee working on that shift will be canceled or sent home early. In the event that there are no volunteers, Travelers, or per diem Employees on the shift in question, the Technologist to have his/her hours reduced will be selected on a rotational basis, with the least senior Technologist on duty at the component being canceled first and rotating the involuntary cancellation of hours throughout the year until all Technologists have taken a turn. Cancellation of shifts and hours will be recorded to facilitate proper rotation of reductions. A Technologist who has been placed “in-charge” of a component may be exempted from call-off whenever Hospital management concludes that the Technologist is needed to remain in charge for the shift. If the remaining staff would not be qualified to perform the available and anticipated work if the individual to be canceled as set forth above were selected for temporary reduction, the next Employee in line for reduction will be selected.
