MNA Incentive Pay Proposal
We have proposed the following contract language to address both chronic unsafe staffing and the hospital’s arbitrary approach to enacting incentive pay.- Incentive pay will be in effect if the RN open shifts on a unit or shift exceeds 20%.
- Incentive shifts should be scheduled in advance as part of the scheduling process whenever possible.
- Incentive pay is to be paid for an extra shift worked in a given week beyond the nurse’s regular core hours.
- All nurses scheduled and working an extra or overtime shift which subsequently becomes designated as an incentive shift shall receive incentive pay for the shift.
- Incentive Pay shall be $40 per hour.
- If RN open shifts on a unit exceeds 30% or more, the Hospital will offer incentive pay at $50 per hour.
