PAD Grievance Has Been Settled

SEIU Local 1991 and JMH have reached a settlement for the Personal AD days for job-basis nurses that were arbitrarily eliminated 2 years ago.

The highlights of the settlement are:

1. “For each fiscal year 2004-2005 and 2005-2006, each job basis

nurse in the unit shall receive an additional two (2) days of PAD

leave, effective immediately. No leave time shall be given to

any job basis nurse that causes said nurse to receive PAD time

above five (5) days per each of these fiscal years. PAD leave

granted pursuant to this paragraph must be used by September

30, 2008.”

2. “Beginning October 1, 2006, the parties agree that the nurses’

collective bargaining agreement requires that on October 1 of

each fiscal year, each job basis nurse shall receive four (4)

days of PAD leave, which must be used by September 30 of

the same fiscal year.”

To summarize, job basis nurses will receive a total of 4 PAD days retroactively to cover the 2 years they did not receive them. Effective immediately, job basis nurses will receive 4 PAD days each year on October 1.

It was a long, hard struggle, but we prevailed!
