Virginia Mason and WSNA negotiated a tentative agreement for a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the upcoming change in VM's pay practice of “rounding” to "actual time keeping."  WSNA and VM bargained over the effects of this change. This means that Kronos will count your time worked minute-by-minute instead of rounding to the nearest 15-minute time-block.  Your team is recommending a YES vote.

More information about this MOU can be found here.

Ratification for this MOU will be held through electronic voting for all VM nurses in good standing. The voting will open at 7 pm on March 10 and close at 10 pm on March 11 . WSNA must have your valid personal email address for you to be able to participate in the vote (if you regularly receive WSNA emails and updates, your personal email address is on file).  Please email your nurse representative ASAP at sfrey@wsna.org if you need to submit a valid email address.

WSNA will be holding virtual drop-in sessions throughout the day on March 11th in case you have any questions.  These sessions will be on March 11 during the following time periods:

•   7-9 am
•  noon - 2 pm
•  7 - 9 pm
