Ratification and Retention Bonus 2023

Nurses Employed as of April 1, 2020 who are continuously employed through December 31, 2023 will, effective the first full payroll period in January 2024, receive a retention bonus of $5,000 (pro-rated by FTE, except that .9 will be treated as 100% and per diems being treated as a .2 FTE), provided that the nurse is still employed on the date of payment. Nurses employed as of April 1, 2021, who are continuously employed through December 31, 2023, will, effective the first full payroll period in January 2024, receive a retention bonus of $2,000 (pro-rated by FTE, except that .9 will be treated as 100% and per diems being treated as a .2 FTE), provided that the nurse is still employed on the date of payment.  Nurses will be eligible for only one of the aforementioned bonuses, depending on their date of hire.

Per Kadlec HR:

To operationalize this action, we will be paying out the bonus to caregivers based on their current FTE. If a caregiver feels that their FTE does not accurately reflect their average FTE since 4/1/2020 or 4/1/2021 they will be allowed to complete a request form to initiate a formal review of their previous FTE.

This form will be housed on the HR Portal and available for WSNA RNs on 2/2/2024.
