There are abuses in the determination of salaries, bonuses and promotions for employees in the administration of the Chuv University Hospital in Lausanne. Employees in Human Resources were given considerable preferential treatment.
Two audits and an administrative investigation concluded that there was a lack of control and validation in some areas, the canton of Vaud wrote in a press release on Friday. It was found that "practices sometimes do not comply with the law on personnel of the State of Vaud, to which the Chuv is subject".
The human resources department of the University Hospital of Vaud "has received more promotions, bonuses, allowances, etc. compared to other areas of the Chuv and the rest of the administration, and to a considerable extent," the communiqué continues. The nursing staff have not benefited in any way from these advantages, Sonia Arnal, spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Affairs (DSAS), told the Keystone-SDA news agency on request.
Disciplinary steps
According to the Department of Health, headed by SP State Councillor Rebecca Ruiz, disciplinary measures are being taken against several people within the HR department. However, there are currently no indications that would justify criminal charges.
"Analyses are still being carried out. It is therefore not possible at this stage to say how many people are affected by these measures," Arnal continued. It is also difficult to quantify the total amount of overpayments.
The two audits were carried out by the cantonal audit office. Former cantonal judge Jean-François Meylan has been in charge of the administrative investigation since June.
