Common use of Reduction in FTE Status Clause in Contracts

Reduction in FTE Status. If a reduction in FTE is determined by the Hospital to be necessary, the least senior nurse on the affected shift on the affected unit will receive the FTE reduction. The Hospital will first seek volunteers from the affected shift on the affected unit to accomplish this reduction. The nurse designated for an involuntary FTE reduction may displace the position (FTE) of the least senior nurse on another shift in the same unit, providing the nurse displaced on the other shift has less seniority. A nurse whose FTE is involuntarily reduced below the eligibility for group health insurance, or by 0.2 FTE or greater, shall have layoff options per Section 8.6. A nurse affected by an involuntary reduction in FTE will be given preference up to his/her prior FTE position if the Hospital thereafter expands the budgeted, positioned FTE on the affected nurse’s unit and shift, providing there is no conflict between the nurse’s then current schedule and the anticipated schedule related to the additional FTE hours.
