Health Care Employment Incentive

The Town and R.M. of Shoal Lake will offer a Health Care Employment incentive to any health care professional (physicians, nurses, technologists, therapists, etc.) hired to fill a vacancy at the Shoal Lake-Strathclair Health Centre, effective August 15, 2005. The incentive will be $7,500 for physicians and $4,000 for other health care professionals payable in one lump sum by the Shoal Lake Regional Community Development Corporation following the signing of a written agreement (see Appendix "A") subject to the following conditions:

1. The employee must remain employed at the Shoal Lake-Strathclair Health Centre in a professional capacity for a minimum of two years. If he/she wishes to leave before two years, the incentive will be pro-rated by month and the outstanding balance repaid to the Shoal Lake Regional Community Development Corporation by the employee.

2. The employee must reside within the boundaries of the Town or R.M. of Shoal Lake

3. The incentive is based on full-time employment. Part-time positions will be pro-rated, e.g. a 0.5 FTE doctor would receive $3,750; a 0.8 FTE registered nurse would receive $3,200. If a part-time position is increased within the two year period an additional sum pro-rated for the balance of the period will be issued, e.g. If the 0.5 FTE doctor becomes full-time after eighteen months, an additional $937.50 would be paid ($3,750 X 6/24).
