Ongoing problems with the healthcare sector’s payroll system in Quebec are spreading, CTV News reports.
First, the province’s orderlies were affected and now it is nurses’ turn to complain about delays in retroactive payments that were owed as a result of new collective agreements.
The problem originates with private payroll service providers who were unable to modify their software in a timely fashion following the renewal of collective agreements in the health and social services sector.
On October 27, the Syndicat quebecois des employes de service (SQEES) - affiliated with the FTQ - denounced the delays and reported that "several companies" had informed them that payroll services would not be able to meet the deadlines set out in the new collective agreement for payment of certain amounts.
Now it is Quebec’s nurses - members of FIQ - who are experiencing similar delays.
The agreement between the FTQ and the Quebec government to renew the collective agreements dates back to the end of May. It was ratified in June but the text was agreed upon and signed at a later date.
