Voluntary Change In FTE Status. Nurses who wish to voluntarily change their FTE point status shall notify the appropriate supervisor in writing and specify the desired change and any possible alternatives. To be considered, the written notice must be received by the appropriate supervisor between the 1st and 15th of the following months: January, April, July, and October; notification for FTE change received at other times will not be eligible for application of this section. Between the 16th and 31st of each month listed above, the supervisor will review these applications for possible action. Changes, if any, will be made with priority consideration to bargaining unit seniority within the department and must be agreed upon by other staff whose FTE is affected. FTE changes under this section are not subject to posting and bidding requirements of this Agreement. A nurse who is on an approved leave of absence and who is approved for a voluntary change in FTE status will receive the FTE status change at the start of the first full pay period after returning to work. Following the approved leave of absence, the nurse must return and work their first scheduled shift. Thereafter, the nurse may either work the remaining shifts within their current FTE or utilize PTO, if available. If no PTO is available, with approval of the nurse’s manager, the nurse may use day(s) without pay until the FTE status change takes effect. The Association will be provided a quarterly list of all requests and the outcome of each request.
