Upon commencement, and provision of job relevant documentation from your previous employer, consideration may be given for purposes of initial placement on the salary scale, and crediting of hours worked towards the next salary increment. (Subject to provisions of applicable collective agreement.)
Within Caritas, the AUPE, HSAA, and UNA collective agreements contain provisions for portability of certain entitlements between employers. The primary intent of the language is to allow a new employee (who is terminating their previous employment) to "port" entitlements such as outstanding sick accrual and/or vacation entitlement date to the new employer.
Caritas Health Group has reciprocal agreements in place with Alberta Health Services - Capital Health for UNA and HSAA employees, that may allow you to transfer additional entitlements from one organization to the other. For example, most employees are entitled to transfer seniority, vacation entitlement date and outstanding vacation accrual, outstanding sick accrual, benefits, and rate of pay (including any hours accrued towards the next increment).
Upon receipt of an offer of employment from Caritas Health Group, please provide documentation from your previous employer in order for your level of eligibility to be determined.
*Please note: This information is provided as a guide only, and does not guarantee portability of any entitlements. Please contact your site Human Resources office for detailed information regarding your eligibility.
