• Addition of Step 27 starting Jan. 2020;
• New weekend differential of $3.00 hour;
• Increase in night shift differential rate to $3.00 and hours to 1900 – 0700;
• Return of HSA employer contribution starting 2020;
• Expanded use of professional funds for equipment;
• Ability for new hires to access accrued vacation time after 6 months instead of 1 year;
• Accelerated vacation accrual for existing RNs.

In addition to the above economic gains, the parties agreed to modify the existing grievance procedure.
