Work of the Bargaining Unit / Agency Nurses Sample Clauses

Work of the Bargaining Unit / Agency Nurses. (a) Nurses who are in supervisory positions excluded from the bargaining unit shall not perform duties normally performed by nurses in the bargaining unit which shall directly cause or result in the layoff, loss of seniority or service or reduction in benefits to nurses in the bargaining unit. Nurses will be assigned duties and responsibilities in accordance with the Regulated Health Professions Act and other applicable statutes and regulations thereto. Hospitals will not assign such duties and responsibilities to employees not covered by this agreement unless those duties and responsibilities are appropriate to the position occupied by the person to whom the duties and responsibilities are being assigned and are consistent with quality patient care. Unless otherwise agreed by the Union and the Hospital, work performed by full-time nurses will not be assigned to part-time nurses for the purpose of eliminating full-time positions. (b) The Hospital shall not contract out the work of a bargaining unit nurse if, as a result of such contracting out, any bargaining unit nurse other than a casual part-time nurse is laid off, displaced or loses hours of work or pay. Prior to contracting out any available work, the Hospital will first offer the work on the basis of seniority to regular part-time nurses in the bargaining unit. Contracting out to an employer who is organized and who will employ the employees of the bargaining unit who would otherwise be laid off, with similar terms and conditions of employment, is not a breach of this provision. This clause will not apply to the ad hoc use of agency or registry nurses for single shift coverage of vacancies due to illness or leaves of absence. (c) It is agreed that ad hoc usage of agency nurses (RN) will not exceed the lesser of 1.5% of the total bargaining unit hours or the Hospital’s actual usage for 2005-2006 base fiscal year. The Hospital will make ongoing best efforts to reduce any use of agency nurses. Any use of Agency nurses beyond 1.5% in a fiscal year will result in a payment to the Union of 62 cents per hour of agency use above 1.5% to be determined annually at the end of each fiscal year. For clarity: The use of agency nurses is limited to ad hoc single shift coverage of vacancies due to illness or leaves of absence. Any other usage of agency nurses requires the Union’s written consent.
