Re: Holidays Announcement Regarding Sick Calls
_ _
Dear Team,
In the past, we have noticed a pattern of increased sick calls over long weekends/ stat holidays, followed by staff working on the statutory holiday the next day. All staff scheduled to work on Christmas Day and Boxing Day are expected to report to their shifts as usual.
Due to this recurring pattern, we will be requiring proof of illness/doctor’s note as per the Collective Agreement from anyone who calls in sick on December 25 and/or 26, 2024. Additionally, if you call in sick on December 24, 2024 and then come to work on the statutory holiday, December 25, 2024, an investigation will be initiated by your Manager with a Shop Steward and a doctor’s note is mandatory. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action and a risk of no sick time pay.
We appreciate your understanding and dedication to our residents’ care. Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure smooth operations throughout the holidays.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your department manager.
Sincerely,
Jessy Manhas
Manager of People & Culture

This week we’re praying for Jatinder Kaur and the team in Menno Home West 2.

Re: Flu shot or Mask Required Starting Dec 9th
__
Hello Everyone.
Flu season is here and we are seeing many respiratory illnesses already in our community.
Starting Monday December 9, you will be required to wear a mask in all resident care areas if you have not received your flu vaccine. Staff are asked to report whether or not they have chosen to get a flu shot.
You can click here to report getting a flu shot.
OR
Click here to report your decision to wear a mask instead of getting the shot.
If you have not reported you have had the flu vaccine we ask you do so right away.
Thank you for all your efforts in helping to keep our residents and one another safe.

For the second week of Advent, the focus is on hope. Andy shared several verses about where true hope comes from including Psalm 62:5 and we prayed for Sujata Connors.
The contest is open to Menno Place staff in all buildings across campus and runs from Nov 22 – Dec 5, 2024.
Giving Tuesday is December 3rd, but you can keep giving through December 6th. Together we can make real and positive change for our 700 treasured residents
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Worklife Pulse Survey! This data is vital to the Menno Place leadership as they plan for the future and continue to make Menno Place a great place to work.
Also, there was an extra push toward the end of the survey to see if we could hit 300 participants. We didn’t get all the way to 300 but we did pass 250 so the leadership decided to award a second gift card for $50.
Both winners have been contacted so they can choose where they want their gift cards to come from. Choices, choices.
Thanks again to everyone who took the time to participate in the survey.
