Re: Outstanding 2025 Vacation

_________________________________

A reminder that a final memo was posted on July 18, 2025, asking staff to schedule the remainder of their vacation hours by August 1, 2025. Any vacation that was not scheduled by this deadline will now be booked by the Staffing Office.

Beginning September 8, 2025, the Staffing Office will schedule vacation for employees who have not yet booked all of their vacation hours. Please note: once vacation is scheduled by Staffing, no changes will be permitted.

Employees still have the opportunity to submit their final vacation requests over this weekend.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Parking Changes for Sept 8 & 9 Only

Hello Team,

Please be advised of the following updates related to the Solar Panel installation at Primrose Gardens:

  • September 8th: Several parking stalls near Primrose Gardens will be temporarily unavailable as they will be used to stage equipment for the Solar Panel project. Please plan accordingly if you typically park in this area.

  • September 9th: Brundige Avenue will experience street disruptions due to crane operations. The crane is scheduled to arrive at 9:00 AM and will be used to lift Solar Panel materials onto the roof of Primrose Gardens.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.

Grandparents Day is this Weekend!

Come and join the fun this weekend in the Menno Home courtyard!

Reminder: Please fill out the MSI Safety Survey

ALL STAFF in all departments are reminded to please take a couple of minutes to complete the Musculoskeletal Injury (MSI) Prevention Survey. This survey is part of our health and safety practice and we need to hear from you. This short, anonymous survey asks about your experiences with physical strain, availability of equipment, training, and overall comfort while performing daily tasks. Your feedback will help us identify risks, strengthen our supports, and improve MSI prevention strategies across the campus.

MEMO: ComVida – Cross Hired Staff and Multiple Log Ins

To: All Menno Home, Hospital and Apartments Staff
Date: September 02, 2025
Subject: ComVida – Cross Hired Staff and Multiple Log Ins

__________________________________

This is a reminder for employees who are hired at more than one site on the Menno Place campus (for example, Menno Home and Apartments).

When receiving notifications for vacant shifts through ComVida, please note the following:

  • Always check which site the shift is being called out for.
  • Log into the account for that specific site when responding to the shift.

Example:
If you receive a Menno Home notification, log in with your Menno Home username and password to respond. If you reply while logged into your Menno Apartments account, your response will not reach the Staffing Office.

Please remember:

  • You will receive shift notifications regardless of which account/profile you are logged into (as long as you registered for both).
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you log into the correct site account before responding.
  • If you are logged in under one site (e.g., Hospital) but reply to a shift notification for another site (e.g., Home), your reply may appear on your phone but will not register in the Staffing system.

Important:
Always double-check the shift code in the notification and log into the correct account before accepting or declining the shift. This ensures your response is recorded properly and prevents missed or misfiled shift responses.

How to read a shift code?

The first two letters after the hyphen, stand for the site.

Examples of Shift Code:

D7A-MNE1 – MN means this is a Menno Hospital shift.

D7A-MHW2 – MH means this is a Menno Home shift.

D7A-AP – AP means this is an Apartments shift.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Grandparents Day is this Saturday!
