(a) Before making vacant positions within a clinical cluster available to nurses identified for layoff, the Employer will post those positions in accordance with the Job Posting language of the contract. The Employer will identify and list all vacant positions within the clinical cluster that are .5FTE or higher that are available for nurses identified for layoff. (b) In order of seniority, most senior nurse first, nurses identified for layoff who are qualified to perform the work needed in the vacant position(s) will be offered the choice of filling one of the positions listed provided the nurse is qualified (see section 20.4). (c) If there is a vacant position available for a nurse identified for layoff that is within .2FTE of the nurse’s FTE (but not below .5FTE) and is on the same shift the nurse must either take the vacant position, resign or go on the rehire list. (d) A nurse who accepts a funded vacant position will have the option to resign within six (6) weeks after accepting the position to be placed on the rehire list. This employment option will count as one (1) of the two (2) offers of placement under section 20.9.5(c). (e) If there is no vacant position available that is within .2FTE of the nurse’s FTE (but not below .5FTE) and is on the same shift for a nurse identified for layoff the Employer will move to Displacing a Less Senior Nurse (section 20.8).
