budgeted shifts based on FTE status as off-shift hours (12-hour blocks such as 3 p.m. to

3 a.m., 4 p.m. to 4 a.m., etc. or 8-hour blocks such as 11 p.m to 7 a.m, etc.).

* Eligible participants will receive an additional $2 per hour night program differential, on

top of their hospital’s current off-shift differential, for night hours worked as part of the

program.

This $2 will be given on top of the new, market-competitive shift differentials.

* Any additional worked day shifts (meetings, competencies, additional overtime shifts) will

be paid without the night program differential.

* Imaging Technologists who work rotating night shifts as part of their schedule, but are

not participants in the night program, will not receive the additional $2 differential.

* All PTO (paid time off) requests must continue to be approved, in advance, by the

participant’s unit director/manager, and the night program differential will not be applied

to the hourly rate paid for PTO.

* Business unit leaders will determine the appropriate number of program participants

based on business unit and department needs.

six-months of experience are eligible to participate.

* Eligible participants must have a performance rating of Solid/Strong/Good to enter the

program and not received any corrective action within the last six months. Maintaining a

Solid/Strong/Good rating will be required to remain in the program. New employees are

able to enter the program at the time of hire.

* If a participant resigns or is removed from the program for not meeting the night program

guidelines, they are not permitted to return to the program for one calendar year.

* If a participant does not work steady night shifts, they are not eligible to receive the

additional differential and their participation will be evaluated for removal from the
