Collective Labor Agreement (VVT): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the Collective Labor Agreement (VVT) provides standardized pay, holiday pay, and training budgets for nurses in home care.
This is a collective agreement that sets out standardized working conditions and pay scales for healthcare workers in specific sectors.
Who it's for
This agreement applies to nurses working within nursing homes and home care services.
What you get
You receive standardized salary scales to ensure fair pay, as well as holiday pay and dedicated budgets to fund your professional training.
What it costs you
There is no direct cost to benefit from these terms, though joining a union to help represent your interests is optional but recommended.
The catch to know
Because different facilities may have their own specific arrangements, you must always check exactly which CAO (Collective Labor Agreement) applies to your specific hospital or clinic.
How to apply
- Confirm your employment status in a nursing home or home care setting.
- Check your employment contract to see which specific agreement is listed.
- Consult with your employer or a union representative if you have questions about your specific pay scale.
