Common use of Extension of Shift Clause in Contracts

Extension of Shift. In some units staff will be designated in advance to be available to work an extension of their shift to complete unfinished procedures or work activities. All staff within the specified positions will be assigned extension of shift on a rotating basis by the Employer. Alternate rotational systems may be developed by mutual agreement of the affected employees and the Employer. Staff, whether full or part-time, will receive time and one-half for all hours worked under extension of shift or compensatory time at the employee's request equal to the time worked (unless required under FLSA to be compensated at 1.5 times the hours worked), to be used at the request of the employee, subject to the approval of the supervisor. Where additional staff are required beyond those already assigned to an extension of shift in the OR or the Ambulatory Surgical Center, staff who volunteer or are assigned to meet the additional staffing need will be paid double time.
