Recruitment and Retention Incentive Program - ON

What is Ontario's Recruitment and Retention Initiative(RRI) Program?

First announced in the 2021 Provincial Budget, the RRI is a short-term solution to help attract more nurses and personal support workers (PSWs) to the retirement home sector to address immediate staffing needs in the coming two years. The RRI provides an incentive payment for new and recently hired PSWs and nurses who commit to a minimum time period of work in an eligible retirement home. PSWs will receive an incentive payment of $5,000 for a six‐month commitment to work in a retirement home. Nurses will receive $10,000 for a one‐year commitment to work in a retirement home.

The goal of RRI is help attract more registered practical nurses (RPNs) and registered nurses (RNs) and personal support workers (PSWs) to the retirement home sector to respond to immediate staffing needs in the coming two years.
