Pay and BenefitsWhen we inquired about respondents’ perceptions of the financial remuneration at theirworkplace, we learned that the nurses are about one-half satisfied or very satisfied with the paythat they receive for their job (56% or 757 nurses). Almost 30% (364 nurses) are dissatisfied orvery dissatisfied with their pay and the rest (17%) were neutral on this issue. An overwhelming
33majority of the nurses (1113 individuals or 82%) indicated that they prefer a structure ofseniority and merit in the clinical pay ladder, rather than a structure of only seniority or merit.With respect to benefits, approximately half of the nurses receive benefits at their job in thehospital, and an additional 30% receive pay in lieu of benefits. Only 16% receive neitherbenefits nor pay in lieu of benefits. The results indicate that 141 nurses (approximately 10%) inour sample are not receiving any benefits or pay in lieu of that.We asked respondents if they preferred to receive benefits, pay in lieu of benefits, orreceive no benefits. 827 individuals or 61% prefer to receive benefits, 34% or 457 would preferto receive pay in lieu of benefits, and 80 respondents (6%) do not want to receive benefits. Ofthose receive benefits, 89% (653 nurses) preferred to receive benefits, 9% (64 nurses) preferredpay in lieu of benefits and 2% (14 nurses) preferred not to receive benefits. Of those whoreceive pay in lieu of benefits, 66% (271 nurses) preferred to receive pay in lieu of benefits, 30%preferred to receive benefits and 5% (19 nurses) preferred not to receive benefits. Of those whodid not receive benefits, 56% (122 nurses) preferred to receive pay in lieu of benefits, 23% (50nurses) preferred benefits and 22% (47 nurses) preferred not to receive benefits. These resultsshow that there are a substantial number of nurses who are not receiving benefits who wouldprefer to receive them as well as many nurses who are receiving benefits but would prefer otheroptions.Of the 827 nurses who said that they prefer to receive benefits, the overwhelming majoritywant to receive extended health care benefits (89%), prescription (92%), vision (88%), dentalcoverage (93%), and disability benefits (90%). They also wanted to continue to be included inthe hospital’s pension plan (91%) and life insurance plan (75%).
