P.E.I. offering healthcare workers cash incentives to cover summer vacations

Health P.E.I. is offering some healthcare workers time-and-a-half or even double-time pay to take on shifts this summer that are deemed critical. It's hoped the move will make it easier for other health workers to take vacation. However, union leaders are concerned it may create even more problems, as Health P.E.I. offered similar incentives last year and it prompted some people to work less. Others are concerned picking up extra shifts could lead to more workers burning out.
