Working with Fairmount Home

GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO — TORONTO — The Ontario government is making it easier and more convenient for people to connect to care by expanding the role of registered nurses to prescribe medications, after meeting specific requirements, for certain conditions such as contraception, immunizations, smoking cessation, and topical wound care in a variety of settings close to home, including long-term care homes and retirement homes.

We are always looking to grow our team of dedicated and talented people, just like you. So, we're excited to announce our Employee Referral Bonus Program.

How it works

Fairmount Home employees who refer qualified candidates to work are eligible for a bonus that is paid-out as the referred employee is hired and meets set milestones.

For benefits earned on or before December 31, 2022, OMERS uses the average of the CPI for the 12-month period ending in October and compares it to the average for the same period in the previous year. The percentage increase determines the inflation adjustment for pensions up to a maximum increase of 6%. The formula for calculating the OMERS inflation adjustment is set out in the OMERS Plan text.
