In order to support the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure that AHS can continue to provide needed care during the pandemic, we are reducing services in some areas, and preparing to meet increased needs in other areas.
Staff working in areas where services are temporarily reduced or paused, may be redeployed to areas across AHS to enable increased service demands and/or continuation of services where staffing needs and pressures are identified.
Whether or not you will be deployed to work in another area depends upon whether or not your skills and experience are matched with an area of high needs. Possible redeployment also depends upon a number of other factors, including if you:
o Work in an area where services are discontinued, reduced or paused during the pandemic o Have specialized skills or experience in an area of high demand
o Have expressed an interest in being redeployed
o Are needed to replace others who are being redeployed
o Are needed to replace in other areas/locations experiencing staff shortages due to employees who are unable to work due to being ill or ordered to self-isolate.
For any individual redeployment, all or a portion of these factors may be considered.
Redeployed staff will continue to be covered by terms of their applicable collective agreement, including their current compensation.
