The following is a brief summary, with more details in this document. Copies of the redlined contract for review will be available at our ratification voting on September 23, 2024.

• Premium increases, including:
  • An increase in the weekend premium from $1/hour to $3/hour
  • A new night shift differential of $7/hour for nurses who work a majority of their hours between 7 pm and 7 am. For nurses employed on the ratification date, the current evening and night shift differential will continue to be paid.
• Increase bereavement leave to 32 hours (from 24 hours)
• Nurses who only use sick leave for not more than one event per quarter will be allowed to convert up to 24 hours of sick time to vacation time
• Nurses who have 144 or more hours in their sick leave bank will be able to convert up to 40 of those hours into vacation
• Updates to the Staffing Committee language based on the relatively new Hospital Staffing Committee law and to continue nurse voices in staffing
