PSWs in Ontario hospitals still waiting on permanent wage increase
Several unions said they’ve been pressuring the government on the issue and note that the long-awaited provincial instructions have recently started arriving. They are now pushing the government to expedite payment of the missing wages and explain the delay.
After that, CUPE said personal support workers in long-term care and social services continued being paid the higher hourly rate without interruption but that was not the case for hospital workers. “Those who have concerns about payments are encouraged to engage with their employers to seek additional information,” Hannah Jensen wrote.
Some are giving retroactive pay in one lump sum, with others spreading it out over multiple paycheques. As of Tuesday, only one hospital that employed SEIU members had provided a funding letter, Corey Johnson said. Tyler Holmes, a personal support worker at Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital in Orillia, Ont., said he heard last Friday from his union that the hospital received its funding letter from the province, and payments would begin sometime this month — more than six months after he started on the job.Holmes said he likes his job at the hospital, which he took up after working in long-term care, but was frustrated by the delay in getting the permanent wage increase.
