Frequently Asked Questions

This Per Diem Program gives employees a financial incentive in return for committing to a certain level of shifts per month and with the understanding that you would be the first to have a shift cancelled should the census go down. There is no limit to the number of times an individual may be cancelled. This is a non-benefit eligible position. The incentive is a higher hourly rate depending on the number of committed shifts and whether or not the position is unit or service based.
