Weekends Off. In scheduling shifts the Hospital will endeavour to arrange schedules so as to provide for a minimum of eight (8) weekends off in every twenty-four (24) week period, and, in any event, at least one weekend off in each three (3) week period. Where a weekend off is not granted within a three (3) week period, time worked on such third weekend but not subsequent weekends shall be paid at the rate of time and one-half (1-1/2) unless the Hospital, notwithstanding its best efforts, was unable to meet this standard. This standard shall not apply where:
(i) such weekend work was performed by the employee to satisfy specific days off requested by such employee; or
(ii) such employee has requested weekend work, or was advised at the time of hire or when the job was posted that the regular schedule normally required continuous weekend work; or
(iii) such weekend is worked as a result of an exchange of shifts with another employee; or
(iv) the Hospital is unable to comply due to a prohibition against scheduling split days off. It is understood and agreed that there shall be no pyramiding of overtime premiums under the provisions of the Collective Agreement arising out of the foregoing undertakings. The foregoing shall have no application where other scheduling arrangements are provided acceptable to the Hospital and the employees affected and approved by the Union. If an employee who is called on their scheduled weekend off refuses a shift, the refused shift will not be counted as a refused shift, as they are entitled to the weekend off according to the collective agreement.
Weekends Off. (a) Each Nurse working seven and one-half (7.5) hour shifts shall have one (1) weekend off in each three (3) week period or at least sixteen (16) weekends off per year unless mutually agreed upon otherwise. The Employer will make every effort to maximize the number of weekends off per year for each Nurse.
(b) Nurses who work rotations, shall receive the weekends off provided by the rotations agreed to between the Employer and the Union.
Weekends Off i) Nurses shall have every second weekend off.
ii) A Full-Time nurse will receive premium pay as outlined in the contract for all hours worked on a second consecutive and subsequent consecutive weekend, save and except where:
1) such weekend has been worked by the nurse to satisfy specific days off requested by such nurse; or
2) such nurse has submitted in advance to the Unit Manager a request for weekend work only and such request has prior approval of the Unit Manager. The request will also contain the duration of the weekend work.
3) such weekend is worked as the result of an exchange of shifts with another nurse.
iii) A Part-Time nurse will receive premium pay as outlined in the contract for all hours worked on a second consecutive weekend save and except where:
1) such weekend has been worked by the nurse to satisfy specific days off requested by such nurse; or
2) such nurse has submitted in advance to the Unit Manager a request for weekend work only and such request has prior approval of the Unit Manager. The request will also contain the duration of the weekend work.
3) such weekend is worked as the result of an exchange of shifts with another nurse.
4) In the event that a casual nurse is called in for weekend work due to the unavailability of part-time staff at the straight time hourly rate, such weekends will not be subject to premium pay save and except the fourth consecutive weekend worked.
Weekends Off. Employees shall be given the weekend off before and following their scheduled vacation period once each fiscal year.
Weekends Off. (a) Insofar as the regular operation of the Employer will permit, Employees shall receive a minimum of three (3) weekends off in an identified six (6) week period. Criteria for determining where operational requirements permit shall be based on two hundred and twenty-four (224) hours per an identified six (6) week period. And in any case an Employee shall not work more than three (3) consecutive weekends. If the results will allow the implementation of any or all Articles 7.10, 7.12 (a) and 7.12 (c) (i) without changing the make up for personnel complement, then this provision shall be put into effect. However, Employees shall receive a minimum of two (2) weekends off in an identified five (5) week period. In any case an Employee shall not work more than three (3) consecutive weekends in a row.
(b) An Employee on OTFT status shall not be required to work more than three (3) consecutive weekends unless the Employee requests otherwise in writing. Waiver of the premium for consecutive weekends shall only be at the initiation and written request of the Employee and may be rescinded at any time. Copies of all consecutive weekend premium waivers shall be forwarded to the Local of the Union at the time they are received by the Employer. The definition of a weekend shall be as set out in Article 7.02 (c). It is understood that the Employee has the responsibility of bringing to the attention of the Employer that she has worked the three (3) previous consecutive weekends and that her being required to report for duty would violate the intent of this provision. Failure to do so would result in waiver of any claim to a violation of Article 7.12 (a) or 7.12 (c) (i).
Weekends Off. (Full-Time and Regular Part-Time) In scheduling shifts the Hospital will endeavour to arrange schedules so as to provide for a minimum of eight (8) weekends off in every twenty-four (24) week period, and, in any event, at least one (1) weekend off in each three (3) week period. Where a weekend off is not granted within a three week period, time worked on such third weekend and every subsequent weekend shall be paid at the rate of time and one-half.

(iii) such weekend is worked as a result of an exchange of shifts with another employee; or
(iv) the Hospital is unable to comply due to a prohibition against scheduling split days off. It is understood and agreed that there shall be no pyramiding of overtime premiums under the provisions of the Collective Agreement arising out of the foregoing undertaking. The foregoing shall have no application where other scheduling arrangements are provided acceptable to the Hospital and the employees affected and approved by the Union.
