WSNA and SJMC leadership reached an agreement to provide nurses additional incentive pay to work above their FTE during the pandemic crisis we are in. The initial timeframe for incentives will span November 29, 2020 through March 6, 2021.

Highlights of the Agreement:

Spot Pay Shift Bonus $15/hour –
Addresses unplanned absenteeism on short notice
Short notice is defined as agreement to work an unscheduled shift with 24 hours or less notice prior to the start of the shift.

Double Time Incentive Pay (DTI)
When the core schedule has unfilled shifts, RNs will be encouraged to sign up to work extra shifts.
A nurse will not be eligible for Spot Pay Shift Bonus if they are receiving DTI.

Extra Shift Incentive of $5/hour which was negotiated into our contract is still in effect and applies until 12/31/2020.

Record your Spot Pay/DTI/ESI in the Exception Log on your unit.

Pre-negotiation Survey

There are still many nurses who have not taken the pre-negotiation survey. It is super important. If you have not taken it yet please take a few minutes and take it now.

In Solidarity,
