PEINU is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with Health PEI to provide additional premiums to RNs working in 24/7 Bed-Based Care Services.
In addition to the existing terms of the collective agreement, RNs may be eligible for a Premium rate of 0.5x (ie: an additional ‘half time’ rate) on the extra hours they work between December 1st 2022 and April 1st 2023.
What does this mean?
For Full-Time & Part-Time Employees:
When you work extra shifts in the service areas identified by Health PEI and:
• worked less than full-time hours in the pay period, then
you will be paid the Straight time rate (1.0x) and an additional Premium rate of 0.5x… for a total of 1.5x your regular rate (aka: the Overtime rate).
OR
• worked more than full-time hours in the pay period, then
you will be paid the Overtime rate (1.5x) and an additional Premium rate of 0.5x… for a total of 2.0x your regular rate (aka: Double Time) for the extra shifts.
For Casual Employees:
When you work more than 50% FTE hours in a pay period, you will be paid the additional Premium rate of 0.5x on extra shifts worked in 24/7 bed-based care services … for a total of 1.5x your regular rate (aka: the Overtime rate).
