We believe our mental health professionals deserve great pay, excellent benefits, and time to plan and prepare for their patients.
We’ve put a strong offer on the table for you that continues to provide you with wages and benefits that are highly competitive and, in many cases, better than you would find anywhere else.
Below are some details of our current offer for NUHW-represented employees in Southern California. Importantly, there are no takeaways — only enhancements in key areas.
We are still in active bargaining with NUHW, so this information may change. Please visit this page often for the latest updates.
Wages
Kaiser Permanente offers competitive wages in every one of our Southern California markets. Our new proposal increases your above-market position even more, with wage increases over the 4 years of the contract:
We also added a longevity step of 2% at 25 years.
Retirement Income
For employees hired on or after January 1, 2015, Kaiser Permanente in Southern California offers an industry-competitive defined contribution (DC) plan.
6% employer contribution + 3% employer match = up to 9% employer contribution |
For employees hired before January 1, 2015, Kaiser Permanente in Southern California maintains a defined benefit plan with a DC match.
We believe we can come to an agreement without an unnecessary disruption in the care you provide to your patients. You have our commitment that Kaiser Permanente will engage meaningfully and intentionally for a contract that is good for you, our members, and our patients. We ask the same of NUHW so we can reach an agreement soon, without any disruption.
Thank you for continuing to care for our members and patients.
