VSEA is congratulating its members belonging to the Vermont State Housing Authority (VSHA) Unit for recently voting electronically and overwhelmingly to ratify a new, three-year agreement with the Housing Authority.
The new agreement translates an average 14.5 percent wage increase per employee over the term of the contract. The agreement also contains a host of benefit enhancements.

1. An employee in who refuses to sign the form to attest that they are fully vaccinated and refuses to comply with regular COVID-19 testing or wear an appropriate face covering:
a. Will be placed in an authorized off payroll status (AOFF) for a period not to exceed five (5) workdays to reconsider complying with the program’s requirements. Authorized off payroll is unpaid leave.
b. Any employee who fails to comply within the five (5) workday period, will be placed on an Unpaid Administrative Leave of Absence until such time as they decide to comply, or the mitigation measures are lifted. An Unpaid Administrative Leave of Absence is unpaid leave and benefits (example: an employee would need to pay 100% of health insurance premiums).
2. Falsification of an Attestation form will be considered gross misconduct and addressed through the normal disciplinary processes.
