UMPNC – 2025 RN Temp to Per Diem Process Schedule
UMPNC (Bargained for Nurses Contract) - Article 20-A; 185R.; 7)
Unit-based temporary RN’s who work four hundred (400) hours in a calendar year will be classified as Per Diem employees.
The administrative process to comply with the contract language listed above is as follows:
- MMHR Data Analytics Team runs a quarterly audit of all hours worked by RN Temps.
- If any RN temps have reached the 400-hour threshold within the quarter:
- A letter is sent to the employees supervisor notifying them to process a PAR (appointment change) to request a reclass from RN temp to Per Diem based on contract language and the effective date.
- Adjusted pay rates are effective the first day of the bi-weekly pay period following the end of the quarter for which the 400 hours worked threshold is met.
- A letter is sent to the employees supervisor notifying them to process a PAR (appointment change) to request a reclass from RN temp to Per Diem based on contract language and the effective date.
Exempt Monthly Paid Time Reporting – No Variance
The No Variance (NOV) time reporting code is used by monthly employees who have no exceptions to report in a month. Reporting and approving the NOV code confirms the employee is to be paid their monthly base salary and there are no exceptions to their normal schedule of work (i.e., PTO, Holiday, shift premium, extended sick, etc.).
Reporting and approving NOV also prevents an employee’s timesheet from showing up on the Missing Time Report notifications that are sent out after every payroll.
Daylight Saving Time Ending Soon
Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 3, 2024. For a complete guide to reporting time for staff who worked during the time change, including detailed instructions for punch and web clock time entry, refer to the Daylight Saving Time Guide.
