Article 51
General Hospital Duty

Where hospital duty is deemed appropriate, such duty shall be assigned
on the basis of voluntary and mandatory rosters among qualified

employees who normally do such work by work location or service. Such
rosters shall be maintained in the same manner as overtime rosters. Nothing

contained herein shall limit the develop- ment of local labor/management
procedures regarding assignment to hospital duty.

When an employee is assigned to such general hospital duty, that
employee shall be reimbursed for travel expenses incurred and shall

receive an amount equal to 15 percent of their daily rate of pay for each
instance which requires travel beyond one-half hour from the facility.

Article 52

Recall Pay

An employee who is recalled to work overtime after having completed
his or her scheduled work period and left his or her scheduled work station
shall be considered to have worked, for the purpose of computing overtime

credits, a minimum of one-half day. In the event an employee is recalled to

work more than once during a period of one-half day commencing with the
onset of the initial recall, he or she will not be entitled to more than one-

half day’s overtime credit unless more than one-half day is actually
worked. There shall be no assignment of routine or non-emergency duties

or other “make work” in order to avoid the payment of recall pay.
For purposes of this article, recall is de fined as unscheduled overtime not

contiguous with the employee’s scheduled work period.
