Saskatchewan hospital supervisor
grieves lack of overtime offered
Practice changed after
HR department scrutiny
DESPITE BEING the most senior person in her
department eligible for overtime, a supervisor at
a Yorkton, Sask., hospital was not offered extra
shifts on multiple occasions.
Donna Brenner, home-care scheduling super-
visor at the Sunrise Regional Health Authority
(SRHA), filed a grievance on Oct. 7, 2016, after
discovering she was not offered overtime shifts in
September on three days (20, 25 and 30).
Brenner, who had worked for the employer
more than 20 years, including 10 years as a super-
visor, was advised by Pearl Blommaert, president
of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE),
Local 4980, in December 2015 that overtime was
to be offered to the most senior person in that de-
partment when it came up.
