As you may know, we are encountering some COVID positive residents on campus once again. As a staff member you are responsible to protect your own health and health of the residents and other staff on our campus. Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with the current guidelines for staff who test positive for COVID. This information has been added to the top right corner of mennoplacestaff.com to make it easy to refer back to.
If the test is positive for COVID, you may not come into work while you have symptoms.
You can return to work when:
- Symptoms improve and you feel well enough to work AND
- You are afebrile (do not have a fever) for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications
Upon return to work staff must do the following:
- A medical mask is mandatory for all staff in resident areas all the time. If you test positive, mask must also be worn in non- resident areas for 10 days from onset of VRI (Viral Respiratory Illness) symptoms, even if symptoms have resolved.

MEMO: September 01, 2024
To: All Menno Place Staff
From: Jessy Manhas, Manager of People & Culture
Date: Aug 28, 2024
Re: September 01, 2024
As you may be aware, the Abbotsford Nagar Kirtan Parade is scheduled for September 1, 2024. In the past, we have noticed a pattern of increased sick calls on this day, followed by staff working on the statutory holiday the next day.
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 September 1, 2024. Additionally, if you call in sick on September 1, 2024 and then come to work on the statutory holiday, September 2, 2024, an investigation will be initiated by your Manager with a Shop Steward. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action.
This procedure is being enforced strictly, as there have been numerous shift cancellations which is putting Menno Place at risk of not being able to provide safe resident care.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your manager.
Regards,
Jessy Manhas
Manager of People & Culture
