Common use of Reallocation of Staff Clause in Contracts

Reallocation of Staff. Reallocation of staff may occur when a unit changes clinical focus, when two (2) or more units merge, or when an existing unit is split. The Hospital will determine the number of full-time and part-time positions (budgeted hours) by shift required for the new or restructured unit. A listing of positions for each shift of the new/restructured unit, including any qualification requirements, shall be posted on the unit for at least fourteen (14) days. At the end of the fourteen (14) days employees will select their desired position. Based on seniority, employees will be assigned their selected positions providing skills, competence, qualifications and experience are considered equal in the opinion of the Hospital. Employees who are not assigned a comparable position (same shift and budgeted hours) in the new or restructured unit shall be eligible for the layoff/reassignment procedure.
