On October 29, 2019, an agreement was reached on the details of HSPBA`s rates of pay negotiated for the 2019-2022 Health Sciences Professionals Collective Agreement. The finalized salary grids are available here. Please note that there are several professional salary grids and that you must refer to the salary grid corresponding to your profession. Let`s explain it. Alice, a full-time pharmacist, loses her mother. Alice has to travel to Britain for the funeral. Under the collective agreement, she is entitled to 30 hours of compassionate leave and 22.5 hours of travel for compassionate vacation. In total, Alice may take seven (7) days off to mourn the loss of her mother. Sometimes it is easier to understand the tariff language with the help of an example.

Suppose there is a physiotherapist named Samantha who works close to home and does not need her vehicle to commute to work. His employer orders them to use his vehicle to visit patients in the commune. Under that section, their employer would be required to pay the difference between their commercial use insurance and their personal insurance. The employer would also have to pay their mileage at 52 cents per kilometre for all trips with a minimum of 2 $US for each round trip. Members and stewards should be aware that this draft collective agreement may contain errors and omissions that will be corrected in the coming months when the agreement is concluded and printed. Once the print version is complete, employers are responsible for distributing collective agreements to all employees covered by HSPBA.

It has more than 16,000 members of the HSA, as well as members of the Union of Hospital Employees (HEU), the Union of Canadian Public Employees (CUPE), the Professional Employees Association (PEA) and the BC Government Employees Union (BCGEU). There are three main sections of the collective agreement that deal with transportation costs.
