[thread] "As an employer whose nurses and PSWs provide government-funded as well as family-funded care the absurdity of this distinction is infuriating."

"On one hand a large (and arbitrary) group of my employees will be eligible for the increase and bonus and of course will receive it.
On the other hand, an equally large and equally deserving group of my employees will not be eligible and might not receive anything."

"In many cases employees will be eligible for some clients they see, but not for others.
This makes absolutely no sense.
In addition, excluding these frontline workers puts families and employers in an impossible position"

"Because of this exclusion families and employers are now faced with choosing between three impossible alternatives."
"The first option is to have companies like mine pay the increase directly without any government support. But this is completely impossible because the wage increase is so big (as it should be) that it is more than enough to put a company like mine out of business"
"Then there is option 2, which is for employers & families to try to find a way to have their nurses & PSWs included in the program despite the restriction. Unfortunately this also isn’t possible because the program has no app. process and no way to advocate for those left out."
"That brings us finally to option 3 which is for families receiving the care to try and find a way to fund at least part of the program themselves.However, asking families to shoulder this enormous financial burden in addition to the strain they are already facing is outrageous."
