Extension of an 8 Hour Shift to a 12 Hour Shift

Extension of an 8 Hour Shift to a 12 Hour Shift

As follow up to the General Meeting held October 28, 2024 via Zoom at 1600 hours

Employer’s Memo Included:

Overtime Clarification

Due to some inconsistent practices across the Centre, clarification was provided with regards to overtime and shift length with regards to part-time employees in units with 12-hour shift patterns.  Please note that the below change is effective immediately.

  • Part-Time nurses who are offered a 12 hour pick up-shift, initially agree to work part of the shift (most often 8 hours), then later agree to work the remaining hours, where the nurse is not in an OT situation, they are not eligible for OT for the remainder of the 12h shift.  They are only eligible for OT if they work past the 12h shift or if they are at an excess of full time hours in the 4 week block.  (This is per the collective agreement- MNU MOA 24).

 

The Union was advised by members of the above memo.

The Union served notice to the Employer that should the nurse only be able to contract to complete the 1st 8 hours and then the Employer asks the nurse to stay for the final 4 hours, those final 4 hours will be at overtime rates.  Should a nurse voluntarily stay at the request of the Employer they should clarify with the Employer the pay will be at overtime rates as per the Union’s position on this matter.

Should the nurse only be paid at straight time the Union would require the following pieces of evidence before proceeding and including but not limiting to:

1)    A narrative of the conversation that took place, date, time and name of the Manager/Supervisor you spoke with.

2)      The hours from the electronic payroll hours showing what you worked for date in question.

3)    A copy of your pay statement showing the rate of pay you received for said shift in question.
