2008 FSTL Contracts Ratified
Nurse Mandatory Overtime Protection
Chapter #493 of the Laws
of 2008 - (S8637 – Morahan / A11711 – Gunther)This
new law prohibits health care employers, including hospitals and nursing homes, from requiring nurses to work more than their
regularly scheduled hours. The law provides enough flexibility to allow for voluntary overtime and exemptions for emergency
situations. This law has been in the works for many years and is the culmination of efforts by many affiliates working together
through the NYS AFL-CIO. Effective July 1, 2009.
