On-Call Duty/Call Back
Know when you are entitled to request off duty time.
Under Article 9.07 (a) an Employee is entitled to request a block of eight hours off duty in the 12 hours preceding the Employee’s next shift if the employee has been called back to work in the 12 hours before their next shift without loss of earnings.
Once the request is made to the proper person, the Employee is entitled to eight consecutive hours of rest before commencing their next Shift without loss of earnings.
Example:
If an Employee is scheduled for a day shift starting at 0700 and she is called in during the night shift to work from 0000 to 0200, then they will not be required to report to their day shift until 1000. After 1000 they will work the rest of that shift and will be paid as if they had reported at 0700.
If an Employee who is scheduled to work at 0700, works any hours past 1100 on the preceding evening, they are entitled to request the eight hour minimum time off entitlement.
An Employee must request this entitlement for the eight hours off duty. If a request is not made, then the nurse is not entitled to the hours off.
UNA Collective Agreement, Article 9.07 (a)
(a) Where an Employee works pursuant to this Article and there is not a minimum of eight consecutive hours off duty in the 12 hours preceding the Employee’s next Shift, at the Employee’s request, the Employee shall be entitled to eight consecutive hours of rest before commencing his or her next Shift without loss of earnings.
