Update on the Primary Care Alberta Transition
We have a follow-up from our update to you on the transfer of HSAA members to Primary Care Alberta, which was sent to you on December 4, 2024.
The LOU on transfers agreed to during bargaining will apply to the transfer of HSAA members from AHS to Primary Care Alberta. The rights, benefits and provisions of your collective agreement will now be portable between AHS and Primary Care Alberta until April 2025.
This agreement addresses many of the outstanding issues not covered by the transition legislation. Maintaining a single bargaining unit and one collective agreement will allow for:
- Seniority rights to apply when applying on positions with both employers.
- Members to hold multiple positions with both employers and maintain the benefits applicable to their cumulative employment status.
- All pre-approved vacation leaves and shift exchanges to be honored.
- Members anniversary dates and hours worked to continue to be applied toward their next increment increase.
There is also now a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document available to answer any questions that you may have.
