<p>You may be eligible for additional back pay as a result of a settlement of grievances between your union and Kaiser regarding the proper pay of consecutive day premiums. Consecutive days will be counted in “contiguous, calendar based order” under the agreement. While people will not be paid multiple premiums for any particular hours, having been paid premiums for hours worked earlier in the week do not discount you from premiums paid for later consecutive days. Examples:1) You would not be eligible if you received holiday premium for working your 8th consecutive day you would not also receive an additional consecutive day premium. 2) You would be eligible if you received double time incentive for working an extra weekend on the weekend before your 6th consecutive day, you will still be owed premium for the 6th consecutive day.Premium pay should be awarded according to http://ofnhp.aft.org/files/consecutivepay.pdf.If you believe that you were not paid properly for any consecutive shift since May 27, 2014, contact Ron Neimark at rneimark@ofnhp.org or Misty Richards atmrichards@ofnhp.org NO LATER THAN JULY 15, 2015 and we will work with you to claim your back pay. The union is also pursuing mediation scheduled for July 14, 2015 for consecutive days worked by Respiratory Therapists at Sunnyside who work a mix of 8 hour and 12 hour shifts.</p>
