RI Hospital New Members

Welcome to the RI Hospital UNAP!

Being a union member may be a new experience for you. There are protections and benefits of union membership that are far superior to non-union facilities. Your rights, wages and conditions of employment are contained in your union contract, a legally-binding document. Every union member is given a union contract, but note it is also available on this site, under the tab 'contract and forms'. 

As you get acclimated on your floor/dept, you will gain a better understanding of your rights and protections. Contact us with any questions and concerns. We are the experts in interpreting the contract and can guide you. All calls are confidential. The Union is your partner!

In Unity,

Per Diem Fact Sheet: updated 3/2021 

Health insurance & Per Diems: Under the Afordable Care Act, Per Diems have the potential for health insurance coverage. If a Per Diem works 1560 hours (from Oct 2 of the previous year to Oct 1 of the current year), they are eligible for one year of health insurance starting in January.

The hospital is required to email you if you qualify in October. However, you must take the initiative and sign up during open enrollment (Oct/Nov). You must continue to reach the minimum required hours for each additional year of health insurance.

Contact the hospital's HR Dept for details   444-5265
