Mental Health Specialist III Hazard Pay Update
Since the contract was ratified this past July, we continue to fight to make sure hazard pay, and every other negotiated increase, is implemented. Cook County Health HR confirmed there’s a technical issue that’s causing the delay in implementing the hazard pay. Maurice Walker, Senior Payroll Coordinator, and Rachel Marrello, Operations Counsel, are working with the Bureau of Technology to make sure this is resolved, and said hazard pay should be implemented in 4-6 weeks. 

This timeline is frustrating and ridiculous. A grievance was filed to make sure this is implemented as quickly as possible, in addition to ensuring all Mental Health Specialists receive the correct hazard retro pay back to ratification.
