The nurse shall co-operate with the Home by providing verification of previous experience so that her or his recent related clinical experience may be determined and evaluated during her or his probationary period. Having established the recent related clinical experience, the Home will credit a new nurse with one (1) annual service increment for every year of experience. This provision shall apply to all current nurses at date of ratification, but with no retroactive effect.

(b) The part-time nurse's hourly rate (or straight time hourly rate) does not include the additional thirteen percent (13%) which is paid in lieu of fringe benefits and accordingly the thirteen percent (13%) add-on payment in lieu of fringe benefits will not be included for the purpose of computing any premium or overtime payments.
