R1.4bn pay boost for nurses Registration delays hit nursing Nurse salaries to be increased

Cape Town - The Democratic Nursing Organisation of SA (Denosa) is angry about employers failing to implement new salary structures for nurses, agreed to last year.

"Denosa is angry and astonished at the failure by the employer to implement the Occupational Specific Dispensation (OSD) salary structure, as agreed on PSCBC (Public Service Co-ordinating Bargaining Council) resolution one of 2007," it said in a statement on Monday.

Nurses were promised salary increases of between 20% and 80%, and it was disturbing to learn some had received no, or very low, increases, the statement said.

According to a spokesperson, Denosa represents 65 000 nurses and nursing staff in both the public and private sector.

The organisation called for urgent implementation of the OSD agreement by health sector administrators.

"Denosa demands health administrators... locate and address the problem behind this incorrect implementation of the OSD, as we do not believe that such a crucial move to attract and retain nurses should be compromised," it said.
