Greetings.
326 HSAA members have sent an ‘expression of interest’ for the voluntary severance program. They have received their calculations, and now have until this coming Monday to make an irrevocable choice. If you say you’re in, you can’t change your mind for four months, but AHS doesn’t have to make any decision until the end of that four months. And the decision may very well be that they will not approve the severance. In an e-mail to employees three days ago, Dr. Duckett stated that “for obvious reasons we will not reduce the clinical workforce at this time”.
One of the application forms indicated that the calculation would be ‘inclusive of other accruals’, leading some to think that vacation and overtime banks would be deducted. The letter of understanding makes no such mention, and we will take the position that any accrued benefits are separate from that. This includes eligibility for the retention bonus. Does anyone at AHS see the irony in paying people to go away and retention bonuses at the same time? Nevertheless, they are negotiated benefits, and we will insist that you receive them, just as numerous managers in both AHS and the rest of the public service did. The rationale was that they were a contractual obligation. So is our contract.
While the attention is mostly on the machinations at AHS, we have thousands of members who are outside that organization. While these posts may seem to be unrelated to you, virtually all of our employers get AHS funding, so we know you are watching developments closely. I look forward to your participation in our ‘healthy debate’.
To Geri- I could not get any new information about what happened to Pastoral Care at the Royal Alex. Just that one day they were there, then they were down to two. These services have not been part of HSAA, making our access to information limited.
Rowdycowboy and others who may be wondering – we continue to work closely with other unions to share information and support each other. Hope the same is happening on site.
Have a great weekend all.
