Latest update

To-the-Minute Timekeeping Goes Live June 8, 2025

On June 8, management will implement the long-discussed shift from quarter-hour rounding to to-the-minute timekeeping. This is a major change, and we’ve worked hard to ensure your rights and pay are protected.

In September 2024, WSNA negotiated a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to address our concerns and protect nurses from unfair discipline or pay issues during this transition. You can read the full MOU here.

What’s Changing: Old vs. New

Old Rounding System:

  • Time was rounded to the nearest 15 minutes
  • Clock in at 0653? It rounded up to 0700.
  • Clock out at 1923? It rounded up to 1930.
  • This impacted daily overtime, rest between shifts, and other contractual provisions

New To-the-Minute System (Effective 6/8):

  • You’ll be paid for every minute worked. Clock in at 0653, you get paid starting at 0653
  • Overtime is calculated down to the minute. One extra minute worked = one minute of OT
  • It is critical to clock in and out as close to your scheduled times as possible
  • Patient care comes first—never clock out early if you’re still working!

Key Protections in the MOU

  • Occasional incremental overtime (e.g., waiting to clock out) is expected and should be paid accordingly
  • Occasional undertime will not affect your PTO accrual or FTE status
    • PTO will not be automatically deducted for incremental undertime
  • A 90-day grace period starts June 8: No discipline for clocking variances or tardiness under the new system
  • At the end of the grace period, WSNA officers will meet with management to review the impact and push for extensions if needed

This transition is significant—but thanks to the strength of our union, we secured clear protections and accountability measures. If you have questions or concerns, reach out to your local unit officer or contact Nurse Representative Jared Richardson at JRichardson@WSNA.org.

In solidarity,

Resources and tools

Document unsafe conditions

If you find yourself in a situation that you believe creates unsafe conditions for patients or for you, you should complete a Staffing Complaint / ADO Form as soon as possible.

By completing the form, you will help make the problem known to management, creating an opportunity for the problem to be addressed. Additionally, you will be documenting the facts, which may be helpful to you later if there is a negative outcome.

WSNA also uses your ADO forms to track the problems occurring in your facility. When you and your coworkers take the important step of filling out an ADO form, you are helping to identify whether there is a pattern of unsafe conditions for you or your patients at your facilities. This information is used by your conference committee, staffing committee, and WSNA labor staff to improve your working conditions.

Representation rights

As a union member, you have the right to have a representative present in any meetings with management that could potentially lead to disciplinary action against you.

If called into a meeting with management, read the following to management when the meeting begins:

If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, I respectfully request that my union representative be present at this meeting. Without representation present, I choose not to participate in this discussion.

Find out more about this crucial right and how to exercise it to ensure your fair treatment and protection.
