Highlights of the Agreement:
Record your Spot Pay/​DTI/​ESI in the Excep­tion Log on your unit.

Extra Shift Incen­tive $5/​hour.
May be stacked with other incentive pays providing the criteria for ESI has been met.

• The nurse must work a direct patient care shift.
• The nurse must have an assigned FTE of 0.6 or greater
• The nurse must work his/her assigned FTE during the work week in which he/she picks up the extra shift(s) in order to receive the incentive pay. If a short notice absence occurs in the workweek the extra shift is worked, the nurse will be ineligible for incentive pay

Spot Pay Shift Bonus $15/​hour
Addresses unplanned absen­teeism on short notice. Short notice is defined as agree­ment to work an unsched­uled shift with 24 hours or less notice prior to the start of the shift.

A nurse will not be eligible for Spot Pay Shift Bonus if they are receiving DTI.

Double Time Incen­tive Pay (DTI)
When the core schedule has unfilled shifts, RNs will be encouraged to sign up to work extra shifts.

In the event more nurses volunteer and/or are signed up for a given incentive shift than needed, management will endeavor to rotate incentive shift opportunities.
