Health care workers in Ontario who are eligible for Pandemic Pay should get their money soon.
Health Minister Christine Elliott says the program is taking a little longer than expected to roll out.
“The Ministry of Health has been working with over 1,000 transfer payment agreements and getting this moving.”
Elliott adds “The money will start flowing next week. It will be received by the employers for distribution to the employees accordingly. I know they’ve had to wait a little bit longer then expected but that’s only because of the sheer volume and the number of transfer payment agencies that are involved with that.”
She notes anyone who receives the Pandemic Pay can expect it retroactive to April 25th, when it was first announced.
