Important: Recruitment/Retention Stipend for Critical Care Nurses

recruitment_and_retention_stipend_2.pdf

On Feb. 15, we finalized an MoA with UConn Health on a recruitment and retention stipend for nurses in critically understaffed areas. This may seem counter to some principles of collective bargaining. Therefore, knowing how we got here is helpful to understanding it.

Update: The MoA was revised on March 6 to include nurses in the UConn Surgery Center and nurses from other units who float into the areas identified.

Fresh from the printer, our 2016-2021 contract books are now available. We are methodically distributing them to members to facilitate one-to-one and small-group interactions, as this provides a fantastic opportunity for member engagement.

How do you get your copy?

Important note for those in the SERS and Hybrid retirement programs:

As you likely are aware, last September, as a result of the SEBAC agreement, we started contributing an additional 1.5 percent of our earnings toward our retirement.

This increase didn't take effect until the seventh pay period of fiscal 2018. Therefore we have to "make up for" the first six pay periods in which that increase was not deducted. These catch-up payments will be spread out over the last 13 pay periods of fiscal 2018, starting with the paycheck dated Jan. 13.
