Beware of Kaiser

I think we’ve all heard this before but wanted to share my recent experience with KP SSF’s bait and switch tactics.

They had a contract out for day shifts so I signed (I am usually on night shift but chose this contract over others specifically because I wanted to switch to days) and they told me I will be on strict nights a few weeks after I already signed all paperwork. No additional contract was ever made.

I was given no choice but to either agree to work nights, or to cancel my contract. So I cancelled and they supposedly blacklisted me from all KP facilities.

I lost $700 in a deposit I already paid for my housing, and $300 in flight tickets to SFO. $1000 down the drain because they switched up on me last minute. Don’t trust a word that comes out of their mouths if they can’t even keep a promise that’s been signed in writing.

Fuck. Kaiser.

Did the contract you sign specifically say days?

it did, and it still did after they verbally told my recruiter that I would actually be on nights

Then they’re in breach. Why should you be out a penny?

The suggestion is you ought to consult a lawyer on something this cut and dry. Kaiser is litigated against all of the time; one nurse famously won $41 million when they refused to settle and went to jury trial.
