OFNHP – RN 2021-2025 11.M.1 The total number of PHNs allowed off on any given day, for the purposes of granting requests for time off, is a formula of 1.25 PHNs off for every ten regular scheduled PHN positions. The formula for the maximum number of RN’s allowed off in CCS department , for any given day, is 12.5% of productive FTE’s from the prior 6 month period, with semi-annual adjustments made in January and July of each year.

11.A.1 Field: Unless there is a specific alternate schedule, the “work day” begins between 0800 and 0830 and ends between 1630 and 1700 for day shift, and 1300 to 2130 for evening shift.

Similarly, although there may be work done by the employee at the end of the day from their own home, the time spent traveling from the last work location of the day to their “home” is non-paid time. 11.A.2 Non-Field: The Res …
