(a) Either the Hospital or the Association may discontinue the job sharing arrangement with ninety (90) days written notice. Upon receipt of such notice a meeting shall be held between the Employer and the Association within fifteen (15) days to discuss the discontinuation. It is understood and agreed that such discontinuation shall not be unreasonable or arbitrary.
(b) If it is decided to discontinue the Job Sharing arrangement, the original incumbent nurse working the arrangement (or the incumbent nurse as defined in R. 14 (c)) will have the option of reverting to his/her full-time position. If he/she refuses then he/she will retain a regular part-time status and will accept a vacant position in the unit. In the absence of such vacancy, he/she will displace the least senior nurse on the unit, who will accept the first available vacancy for which she qualifies.
(c) For the purpose of this article, the incumbent nurse is defined as the nurse who originally held the full-time position subject to the discontinuation or where both job sharers held full-time status, the job sharer with the greatest seniority.
(d) If one of the job sharers leaves the arrangement, the remaining vacancy will be posted.
(e) If there is no successful applicant, the job sharing arrangement will be discontinued, and a full time position will be posted.
Vacation, Maternity Leave, and other leaves pursuant to Article of the Central Full- Time and Part-Time In the event that one member of the sharing arrangement goes on any of the above of absence, the coverage will be negotiated with the unit supervisor, but hoped that the remaining member of the position would be prepared to cover the leave of absence as as possible. Where the job-sharing arrangement arises out of the filling of a vacant full-time position, both job-sharing positions will be posted and selection will be based on the criteria set out in the Collective Agreements. Any incumbent full-time nurse wishing to share her position, may do so without having her half of the position posted. The other half of the job-sharing position will be posted and selection be made on the criteria set out the Collective Agreement. If one of the job sharers leaves the arrangement, her position will be posted in accordance with the Collective Agreement. It is expected that the remaining job sharer will cover during the posting period and selection process. If there is no successful applicant to the position, the shared position must revert to a full-time position. The remaining nurse will have the option of continuing the full-time position or reverting to a part-time position for which she is qualified. If she does not continue the position must be posted in accordance with the Collective Agreement. Either party may discontinue the job-sharing arrangement with ninety days’ notice. Upon receipt of such notice a meeting shall be held between the parties within fifteen (15) days to the discontinuation. It is understood and agreed that such discontinuation shall not be unreasonable or arbitrary.
