Apparently some lower mainland HA's recently had their final performance plan results show up for the 2025/2026 fiscal period. While I understand many HAs are still in the process of issuing increases for 2024/2025 and potentially retro-payouts on the Friday May 29th paycheque, has anyone heard anything related to 2025/2026 and if there will be an additional increase? or is the PSEC currently in the process of discussing?
Details were shared today during a townhall that the majority of our technical team would be transitioned from our current health authority over to the new shared health services organization.
Would appreciate the sharing of any info regarding prior attempts at the shared service approach and what historically has occurred within the following cycles: initial 1-3 months while the transition is still happening , 3-6 months still in transition/post transition, and 6-12 months post transition.
*key question - when does job loss usually happen, and which levels and roles need to be most concerned??*
It was also shared that perhaps some execs in the new shared service team may have "old school thinking", and they have been tasked with specifically overseeing the consolidation and redundancy efforts. EX: they might believe certain programs/solutions/initiatives - although proven successful and have widespread usage locally/in Canada/Internationally - are too costly to run in the current fiscal environment, even if it comes at the detriment of patient care. Any advice to pushback/contend with them?
I understand that PHSA has communicated on the POD that eligible non-contract/excluded staff would be receiving their pay increases starting today, and the retro payment on the May 29th paycheque. However, has anyone heard when the other HA's will be issuing their retro payments? So far it's crickets in VCH and FHA....
