How to apply for your 1% COVID-19 recognition lump-sum payment and retroactive pay increase

Important notice to former employees of Alberta Health Services, Covenant Health, Lamont Health Care Centre, and The Bethany Group (Camrose): You must apply for your 1% COVID-19 recognition lump-sum payment and retroactive pay to receive them.
 
Article 1.03 of the Provincial Collective Agreement between Alberta Health Services, Covenant Health, Lamont Health Care Centre, and The Bethany Group Camrose and the United Nurses of Alberta states:
 
1.03        An Employee whose employment has terminated prior to the signing of this Collective Agreement is eligible to receive retroactively any increase(s) they would have received but for the termination of employment, upon the submission of a written application to the Employer within 90 calendar days of the signing of the Agreement.
 
Former employees of Alberta Health Services, Lamont Health Care Centre, and The Bethany Group (Camrose) covered by the UNA provincial Collective Agreement still have time to apply for the 1% COVID-19 recognition lump-sum payment included in Letter of Understanding No. 11.
 
Former employees who worked any hours between October 1, 2021, and February 4, 2022, are eligible to submit a request for retroactive payment.
 
Employees who left their employment after January 1, 2021, and before February 18, 2022, must request retroactive payment of the 1% COVID-19 recognition lump sum payment within 90 calendar days of the signing of the agreement, which UNA expects to happen in the next few months.
