In early 2008, the Nurses Bargaining Association was able to negotiate a change in the seniority portability of employees covered by the provincial collective agreement for nurses. HSA was at the table representing our registered psychiatric nurses. The collective agreement is amended by the fact that regular workers receive a deduction of seniority on the basis of seniority acquired from former employers certified with one of the constituent unions of the Nurses Bargaining Association. Single possibility to apply for the portability of former seniority credits Portability is available when you move from regular full-time or part-time employment with an employer covered by the nurses` collective agreement to another regular full-time or part-time job with an employer also covered by the care contract. All applicants must prove seniority by one of the following methods:• Certificate of employment from the previous employer “€¢ Letter of recruitment or letter of appointment from the previous employer‷ Pension certificate for years, You claim€¢ T4 from previous years that you claim• Pay slips  CRNBC/CRPNBC-Hours (records are only kept for five years) • completed portability request form from the previous employer• a notarized declaration from an NBA member who worked with you on the old construction site• seniority list. (Please send copies of the above documents, as this documentation is not returned.) For more information, contact Jessica Bowering at the HSA office by phone or email: jbowering@hsabc.org.
