We are happy to announce the following details on the contract status and implementation. The language of the contract has been finalized. Nurses will be placed on the appropriate step and pay rate as of July 1, 2013. This we believe will be reflected on the 7/17 payroll. The 5.25% back pay covering the time from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013 will be paid as well, at the latest in August, possibly in July. The pay for the back pay from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 is in the grievance arbitration procedure. Also, we will continue to work to get the back-pay for that time frame through every other avenue possible.
