Here are some of the reasons why Health Association Nova Scotia was selected as one of Atlantic Canada's Top Employers (2025) and Nova Scotia's Top Employers (2025):

  • Health Association Nova Scotia's time-off policies allow employees to rest, recharge, and balance personal and professional commitments -- examples include four weeks of starting vacation allowance, 40 hours of family sick leave per year (which can be used to care for an ill family member or to attend appointments), and paid sick time of up to 18 days annually
  • Additionally, Health Association Nova Scotia maintains a vacation buyback program for eligible employees, allowing them to purchase additional time off, up to six weeks of combined earned and purchased vacation
  • Health Association Nova Scotia provides maternity and parental leave top-up payments for new parents, including adoptive parents (to 93 per cent of salary for 15 weeks), and offers academic scholarships for parents with children pursuing post-secondary studies (to $2,500 per child per year)
