Olympic Medical Center - Market Increases for PAS!
/
We have reached an agreement with Olympic Medical Center to increase pay rates for patient access services (PAS) to recruit and retain staff. This market adjustment is uncommon since our union contract expires on June 2023. We requested that Olympic Medical Center act to fix our recruitment and retention issues, to which they agreed. We will be entering full contract negotiations in Spring 2023 where we will be fighting for competitive wage increases and improving contract language.
Below are the details of the agreement:
Patient Access Representative I and II (PAS Rep I and II) will convert into a single Patient Access Representative position: all current PAS Reps I and II will move to grade 50 (base rate of $18.10)
Patient Access Specialist: increase from grade 65 (base of $18.91) to grade 74 (base rate of $19.94)
New position of Patient Access Senior Specialist: grade 75 (base of $20.65)
