Memorandum of Understanding Re: On-Call Provisions

In-Hospital call and Out-of-Hospital call shall comply with Article 19.01. In addition, In-Hospital call is on a one-in-four (1:4) basis and it shall be administered as follows:

The number of days on service is specific to any individual Resident, and reflects the number of working days subtracting any time the Resident is away from the workplace for any reason including vacation and leaves.

11-14 days on service – 3 calls

15-18 days on service – 4 calls

19-22 days on service – 5 calls

23-26 days on service – 6 calls

27-29 days on service – 7 calls

30-34 days on service – 8 calls

35-38 days on service – 9 calls

Out-of-Hospital call is on a one-in-three (1:3) basis and it shall be administered as follows:

The number of days on service is specific to any individual Resident, and reflects the number of working days subtracting any time the Resident is away from the workplace for any reason including vacation and leaves.

11-14 days on service – 4 calls

15-18 days on service – 6 calls

19-22 days on service – 7 calls

23-26 days on service – 8 calls

27-29 days on service – 9 calls

30-34 days on service – 11 calls

35-38 days on service – 12 calls

For further increases in days on service, the maximum number of call during the period will be determined by dividing the number of days. For example, for one-in-four (1:4) it would be the total number divided by 4, and for one-in-three (1:3) it would be the total number divided by three (3).

The maximum averaging period is three (3) months even when the rotation is longer than three (3) months.
