Portability
Within Covenant Health, the AUPE, HSAA, and UNA collective agreements contain provisions for portability of certain entitlements between employers.

Upon receipt of an offer of employment from Covenant Health, please provide documentation from your previous employer in order for your level of eligibility to be determined. This documentation should include the following information:
- Dates of Employment
- Employment Status - full-time, part-time, or casual
- Job Title/Classification Held
- Total Number of Hours Worked for Each Position
*Please note: This information is provided as a guide only, and does not guarantee portability of any entitlements. For detailed information regarding your eligibility based on an offer of employment, please contact the Covenant Health Human Resources office at the site your offer has been made.
