Some managers are requiring casual employees to be available to work a  work a minimum number of shifts (e.g. at least one a week) in order to remain on the Casual list. They cannot impose this requirement. Alberta Health Services has stated it has no policy on minimum required number of shifts for casual nurses. Under the UNA Provincial Agreement there is no provision for requiring casuals to work a certain number of shifts. Please note, however, that casual nurses must keep updated on certifications and communications in the area in which they work. Contact your UNA Local or your Labour Relations Officer if any manager is attempting to require any Casual employee to work any shift. Article 30.03 a) i)  “No casual employee shall be scheduled except with the employee’s consent.”
