Health professionals in the east of Montreal being compensated less for home visits

Health professionals in Montreal's east are paid less for home visits compared to their counterparts in the west. The East Montreal health authority has implemented this differential pay, justified by different collective agreements. This situation has led to frustration among health workers who argue this disparity is unfair. Concerns are raised over potential impacts on care quality and staff recruitment, as the pay gap might deter professionals from working in the eastern regions, risking decreased service availability for the elderly and vulnerable populations who depend on these home visits.
