Redeployment of Horizon Health Network Staff
Should the social measures being implemented to reduce the spread of COVID-19 not be successful, Horizon
could be in a very difficult place with respect to staffing.
could be in a very difficult place with respect to staffing.
Effective immediately, staff who are not required to maintain the services within their home department will be
redeployed within their local area to help address the most urgent needs.
If the operations within your department have been scaled back/closed or will be closing, your name will be
provided by your manager for assessment and matching to a suitable temporary position. The goal will be to
first redeploy an employee within the same classification, if not possible and/or available, the employee will
be placed where needed.
You will continue to be paid your hourly wage for your permanent position/classification according to your
FTE (Full Time Equivalent). This is applicable even if you have been redeployed to a lower paid classification.
To ensure the continued safe and quality provision of care, redeployment is not optional.
