United Nurses of Alberta has received confirmation from Alberta Health Services that December 22, 2025 will be the Payroll Transfer Date on which employees of Acute Care Alberta, Primary Care Alberta, and Recovery Alberta will be migrated from the AHS payroll to their new employer-specific payroll groups.

Affected employees will note the following changes on December 22:

The e-People system will clearly reflect the new employers
The “Post Payroll Transition” terms of the Transition Agreements signed between the parties will apply.
AHS, RA, ACA and PCA will become separate bargaining units for purposes of applying and administering the Collective Agreement, except as specifically amended in the “Post Payroll Transition” terms of the Transition Agreement or the Collective Agreements.
The employers are developing collective agreement-specific FAQs related to administration of the collective agreement and transition agreements resulting from these payroll transfers.

The Payroll Transfer Dates for Assisted Living Alberta, Cancer Care Alberta, Emergency Health Services, and Give Life Alberta have not been determined by the employer. Employees of those organizations will remain on AHS payroll until a payroll transition date is determined.

UNA members should refer to Part B of Letter of Understanding #34 attached to the Provincial Collective Agreement for more information about post-payroll transition promotions, transfers and vacancies, layoff and recall, emergency reassignments, and more.

UNA will continue to share information about the position transfers and payroll transfers affecting UNA members as we receive it. Members can find updates on the Acute Care Alberta, Assisted Living Alberta, Primary Care Alberta, and Recovery Alberta transfer pages.

-Flash Glucose monitors have been amended to remove the insulin dependency requirement.

-Massage benefits have been amended to include a flat $1,000/year maximum with no per visit limit.
