Requests for specific days off are to be submitted, in writing, at least two (2) weeks in advance of posting.
F-2 Request for Tour Changes
F-3 Where there is a change in the schedule from one day shift to another day shift commencing at different start times on the same day, the change will not be considered a change in schedule as defined under Article 14.12. If the nurse is advised of the change and unable to accept it due to extenuating circumstances and the Employer unilaterally changes the start time, premium pay would be applicable if the change is made with insufficient notice as per Article 14.12.

A copy of such response shall be forwarded to the Union.
