UNA and HBA Services have released details on several new Provincial Agreement Provisions
These statements give detailed guidelines on how these new strategies will be implemented.
Joint Statement Re: Weekend Worker The Letter of Understanding in the new Agreement allows an Employee to agree to work every weekend. In doing so, the Employee would work approximately a 0.8FTE, but would be paid as though she was full time.
Joint Statement Re: Guidelines for Pilot Projects The new collective agreement contained a Letter of Understanding on Pilot Projects, including: Flexible part time Employee, Benefit Eligible Casual Employee, and Seasonal Employee.
Joint Statement Re: Retirement Preparation Program The new collective agreement contained a Letter of Understanding Re: Retirement Preparation Program. This program allows an Employee to maintain their FTE, but reduce their clinical hours. The remaining hours would be used for special projects, research, leadership assignments, etc.
