SCHEDULING

Veterans Day Scheduling Guidance - This document was created through the Scheduling Task Force to provide guidance when scheduling for the Veterans Day holiday in light of the Holiday Scheduling MOU.

Holiday Scheduling MOU
The Holiday Scheduling MOU has been extended through Labor Day, and we are currently working on an extension through at least the end of 2023. As a reminder, during a holiday week, bargaining unit members who are not working the actual holiday(s) can schedule up to their FTE. Any hours worked over your FTE when combined with holiday benefit time are eligible for SBIP, regardless of functional vacancy, as long as they are scheduled during schedule creation. Hours that are picked up during a holiday week after schedule creation are subject to the Memorandum of Understanding: Patient Demand Incentive Program, including functional vacancy requirements.
