President-Tim Headlee: Days off upon bidding to new unit-2 months movement day. Looking for mutual agreement for splitting days off when moving to new days off. 1. Days off upon bidding to new unit-2 months movement day. Looking for mutual agreement for splitting days off when moving to new days off. 2. Double Inversing and Inversing part time employees (LPNs)-3 timing an inverse. Understanding OD is not required to split up an inverse 3 times. 2 times is max in MSH. Nursing is not allowing them to give away inverse. (Crosby) Bring it up to management as it occurs. LPNs being inversed and not having a full 24 hour day off. Nursing supervisor is helping on the floor..Thank you
VP-Matt Stenger: On 08-17-2016 management and AFSCME local leadership came to an agreement about how days should be counted within your vacation request. The current practice was when requesting vacation that included your weekend no one else could request your weekend as days off. The reasoning was if someone had their days off included and their days off changed it would short staff the facility because 2 people would then have the day off. This resulted in people not being granted vacation because the days were being taken up by someone that already had the day off as their weekend. The agreement made during our meeting would mean that days off would still be counted against the work area until the next bid movement day (bid movement days happens every 2 months). After the bid movement day the employees days are guaranteed not to change and their weekend should be offer to the work area. We would like to put this new practice into play on pay period of 09-07-2016 and will continue to re-evaluate in the coming months.
