Re: Portability. 1. A nurse who is/was employed by an Employer in Manitoba who participates at MNU Central Table negotiations, who is awarded a position with another Employer in Manitoba who participates at MNU Central Table negotiations, and who commences employment with this Employer within six (6) weeks of termination of employment from her/his former Employer, will be entitled to portability of benefits as specified hereinafter: (i) accumulated income protection benefits; (ii) length of employment applicable to rate at which vacation is earned; (iii) length of employment applicable to pre-retirement leave; (iv) length of employment applicable for qualification for the Magic 80 pension provisions; (v) length of employment applicable to next increment date; (vi) continuation of all Benefit Plans; (vii) seniority credits (in accordance with receiving Collective Agreement). 1. The provisions of the Portability Memorandum shall be effective [retroactive to] April 1, 2002. 2. Where portability is implemented retroactively, the items ported shall be on a "go forward" basis. No processes [e.g. vacation selection, vacancy selection] or access to benefits [e.g. income protection] shall be adjusted retroactively. 3. The onus is on the nurse to advise her/his new Employer that there are benefits/seniority to port. 4. The provisions of the memorandum only apply where a nurse terminates from one Employer and commences employment with another Employer. It does not apply to "merge" employment/benefits etc. from two or more Employers to one of those Employers.
