Letter of Understanding #2 Application of Low Census Call-off, Call-back The parties agree that this XXX illustrates the agreed upon application of the parties’ collective bargaining agreement with regard to the following on-call and call-back scenarios. The following illustrative scenarios assume that Nurse is scheduled to work from 7:00 AM – 7:30 PM, and is placed on-call (standby) in six hour segments. Nurse A is called off for low census for the first half of his/her shift and told to report for regular shift at 1:00 PM. Nurse A is placed on Standby for first half of shift Nurse A receives Standby pay for 6 hours until 1:00 PM, and is obligated to come in to work during that period if/when called If Nurse A is called-in during that period while on Standby, he/she receives Call-back pay for the hours worked during that Standby period. At the conclusion of that Standby period (e.g., 1:00 PM), Nurse A’s pay reverts to straight time If Nurse A is not called-in during that period while on Standby, he/she simply reports to work at 1:00 PM at straight time Nurse A is not on Standby for first half of shift No Standby pay, Nurse A has no obligation to answer phone or come in Nurse A simply reports to work at 1:00 PM, at straight time Nurse B works first half of scheduled shift, and is called off at 1:00 PM and placed on Standby for last half of shift. Xxxxx X receives straight time for first half of shift Xxxxx X receives Standby pay for final half of shift, until 7:30 PM, and is obligated to come in to work during that period if/when called If Nurse B is called-in during that period while on Standby, he/she receives Call-back pay for the hours worked until beginning of next scheduled shift, at which time Nurse B’s pay would revert to straight time Examples illustrating Scenario 1, above:
Travelers i) If a Traveler is working on a unit and is unable to float out, no BU RN from that unit will be floated out instead, except in the case of dire emergency.

The final work schedule shall be posted at least two (2) weeks prior to the start of the new schedule. 1241 In establishing a work schedule, the Facility will use bargaining unit Registered Nurses to fill shift vacancies prior to the scheduling and utilization of non‐bargaining unit Registered Nurses. In addition, the Facility shall make reasonable efforts to schedule full‐time and part‐time bargaining unit Registered Nurses on their known preferred workdays and days off prior to the scheduling of bargaining unit Per Diem Registered Nurses and non‐ bargaining unit Registered Nurses. 1242 Registered Nurses shall normally provide at least three (3) weeks advance notice to their immediate supervisor of their preferred workdays and days off prior to the effective date of the next work schedule.
