It has come to the attention of the union that some employers have not yet implemented new clerical members that resulted from the clerical benchmark review contained in the 2006-2010 agreement (“page208″).

Under the final settlement and implementation agreement reached in January, health employers to implement the new rates of pay for benchmarks covered by the review no later than April 1, 2010.

The adjustments are retroactive to April 1, 2007, and health employers were also required to provide retroactive payments by no later than May 13.

It’s important that you contact your union if work is matched to one of the affected benchmarks your employer has not adjusted your pay rate or provided you with retroactive pay.
