- Addition of Step 27 starting Jan. 2020;
- New weekend differential of $3.00 hour;
- Increase in night shift differential rate to $3.00 and hours to 1900 – 0700;
- Return of HSA employer contribution starting 2020;
- Expanded use of professional funds for equipment;
- The ability for new hires to access accrued vacation time after 6 months instead of 1 year; and,
