Central WA Hospital New Double Time now in Place

Our union was able to bargain a new Double Time Pay MOU for all bargaining unit members at Central Washington Hospital!

The agreement will reward and provide incentives for employees working extra shifts. Approved Double Time shifts started 9/2/21 and it will be effective through 11/13/21. It may be extended after that date- we will keep everyone updated!

Double Time Pay:

1. All employees working double time at Managers/Directors/VP discretion will receive 2.0 x regular rate of pay (double time) for those approved double time shifts.

2. All employees working an extra shift more than 4 hours will receive 2.0 x regular rate of pay (double time) for those additional hours worked. Employees will need to clock out and clock back in using the special code for the additional shift. Double time does not apply to incidental overtime, only additional shifts.

3. The rest between shift and consecutive weekend premium pay (1.5 x regular rate of pay) will not be affected unless overridden by double time.

4. Mandatory call shifts will be paid at 1.5 x regular rate of pay.

5. Employees who have agreed to 2.0 x regular rate of pay (double time) shift but call in sick or call off during that pay period agree to voluntarily reduced the extra shifts to 1.5 x regular rate of pay (overtime).

6. Central Washington Hospital will follow the contract language regarding low census. All other articles of the contract remain in effect.

With a strong union, we can continue winning improvements for better staffing and retention. Not a member yet? Join UFCW21 here at bit.ly/centralWAhospital
