Deadline to apply for retro pay arising from the Rural Factor Adjustment is September 21, 2026.
As a result of the July 31, 2026, implementation of the Central Table Collective Agreement’s Rural Factor Adjustment (also known as the Rural Differential), you may be eligible for retro pay (retroactive to April 1, 2025).
YOU DO NOT NEED TO APPLY FOR RETRO PAY IF:
- You were working outside of the City of Winnipeg and south of the 53rd parallel (including the City of Brandon), and you haven’t changed Employers Organizations since April 1, 2025. Any eligible retro pay arising from the rural differential should be paid out to you automatically. (NOTE: If you were employed by the same EO throughout the period since April 1, 2025, but changed jobs or employer/facility, if it would make you feel more comfortable to submit the form, we encourage you to do so.)
YOU MUST APPLY FOR ANY ELIGIBLE RETRO PAY IF:
- You’re a MAHCP member (SHEO or WCHREO) who was working outside of the City of Winnipeg and south of the 53rd parallel (including the City of Brandon), and who transferred from one EO to the other, any time since April 1, 2025.
- You’re a MAHCP member (SHEO or WCHREO) who was working outside of the City of Winnipeg and south of the 53rd parallel (including the City of Brandon), and who terminated or retired from SHEO and/or WCHREO, any time since April 1, 2025.
- Important: If you’re a MAHCP member (former WCHREO and/or SHEO) who transferred to the Northern Health Region Employers Organization any time since April 1, 2025, we recommend you also submit this employer form. We always instruct members to always err on the side of caution to ensure you receive eligible retro pay owing to you.
Please submit the request to your current, or most recent, employer. Review instructions carefully, and go to page 2 for information about where to email your completed form.
If you know of allied health colleagues who may be eligible to request retro pay, please share this information with them.
The deadline to apply is September 21, 2026.
