Despite controversy, George Tilley to receive ample benefits
George Tilley, the former chief executive officer of Newfoundland’s Eastern Health authority in St. John's, Nfld., reached a lucrative settlement before announcing his resignation in July.
According to the St. John’s Telegram, Tilley will receive his regular salary of $255,000 for a year after his departure and get all of his employment benefits and pension credits. Eastern Health will also make payments for life and health insurance and pension plan contributions and, at any time over the next year, Tilley can take the outstanding salary in a lump sum.
Tilley quit his job without explanation though he was under “intense scrutiny,” according to the Telegram, for his role in flawed breast cancer tests and radiology reports done by the authority. A class-action lawsuit has been launched against Eastern Health.
