First-ever Self-Scheduling Pilot begins Oct. 1 at CMC
After a few setbacks, we are moving forward with the Self-scheduling Pilot at California Men’s Colony October 1, 2018. The nine participants have selected their schedules and the self-scheduling period will run from October 1 through December 23. The Self-scheduling Pilot is the result of many months of hard work at our Joint Labor Management 9.4 Staffing Committee meetings. The goal of the committee is to comply with contract language in Article 5.1, which mandates us to reduce and eventually eliminate mandatory overtime.
The concept of self-scheduling is not new to the nursing industry. It has been utilized in the private sector for many years. Self-scheduling has proven to be a useful tool for reducing overtime. When you give staff the ability to set their own schedule, they are far more likely to report to work. CAPT is confident this pilot will produce a positive impact on attendance.
Looking down the road, the committee, which met on September 21, decided to plan for the next round of self-scheduling at CMC. Round 2 of the Self-scheduling Pilot at CMC will run from December 24 through March 17. Those who would like to participate in Round 2 must submit their acknowledgment by October 29 at 0800. Schedule selection will begin on Nov. 6 at 1330. For Round 2, we will waive the requirement of 40-hours on the books and a cap will not be placed on the number of participants.
The committee is scheduled to meet again October 17 to review the pilot’s progress.
“We are excited as this is the first pilot of this type in which CAPT has participated,” said Marilyn Hayes, Southern Corrections Chapter president. “We believe self-scheduling will benefit a greater number of our members, giving them more control over their schedules and reducing overtime. In spite of the setbacks, I thank everyone involved for their patience and hard work.”
