Workload and scheduling Clause Samples

The 'Workload and scheduling' clause defines how tasks and working hours are assigned and managed between the parties involved. It typically outlines expectations regarding the volume of work, deadlines, and the process for setting or adjusting schedules, such as specifying regular working hours, overtime policies, or procedures for requesting schedule changes. This clause ensures both parties have a clear understanding of work commitments and timelines, helping to prevent misunderstandings and disputes related to workload distribution or scheduling conflicts.
Workload and scheduling. As well as these items the role of the Sonographer is of equal importance & their responsibility for managing their own well being. On starting work for Te Whatu Ora in the Ultrasound department, all sonographers should have a base line assessment of their physical wellbeing.

If the arm is abducted, support it either by a cushion or rest on the patient. • Rest then stretch their hand and wrist during procedures to relax stressed muscles. • Refocus eyes onto distant objects every few minutes to reduce eye fatigue. • Avoid where possible performing successive similar ergonomically difficult examinations. • Take short regular breaks from scanning. • Stretch before commencing work, during, and in between examinations and at the end of the day. • Ensure that meal breaks are taken, to completely relax. • Report and document any pain and discomfort to employers via an Incident report Sonographers should: • Seek competent medical advice if they suffer any pain or discomfort. Musculoskeletal injuries caused by the repetitive task of scanning are often not apparent until the end of the day, or at night. These injuries often take a long time to manifest and a long time to resolve, if ever.
