UFCW 3000 sends cease and desist over VMFH overpayment demands

On November 10, Virginia Mason Franciscan Health sent notice to workers across several facilities that they intend to recover wage overpayments associated with the October 21 paycheck, which were as of a result of last month’s Kronos outage.

Healthcare workers have expressed concern over the Employer’s overpayment recovery plan, specifically, questions regarding the accuracy of the Employer’s math and hardships over the limited payment options.

In response, UFCW Local 3000 has sent Virginia Mason Franciscan Health a cease-and-desist letter to allow us time to bargain an agreement that addresses these concerns.

In the meantime, we recommend that members retain any documentation related to the October 2- October 15 payroll period. We will follow-up with additional information as this situation develops.
