We continue to be a strong player in the Labor-Management Partnership

If anyone challenges your right to participate in any Labor-Management Partnership (LMP) functions, stay at the meetings and explain that we are committed to making the partnership work for all.

2017 PSP Payout Results

Below is the PSP Award Results Base and Attendance Achievement

If the employee achieved the attendance goals, the dollar amount in the last minute sick (three days or fewer or four days or fewer) column should be added to the base payout for the medical center area. If the medical center area made the non-protected absence goal, the payout listed in that column should be added to the base payout.
