It’s crucial to prioritize your well-being. The Health and Wellness Committee encourages you to indulge in a quick 5-minute stretch session during your break to rejuvenate both body and mind.

 Why Take Breaks?

1. Recharge: Stepping away from your duties momentarily helps recharge your energy levels, ensuring you’re ready to provide the best care possible.
2. Reduce Stress: Breaks offer an opportunity to momentarily detach from work stressors, promoting mental clarity and resilience.
3. Prevent Burnout: By incorporating regular breaks, you mitigate the risk of burnout, safeguarding your long-term well-being and job satisfaction.

Benefits of Stretching:

1. Physical Relief: Stretching alleviates muscle tension and stiffness, promoting physical comfort during long shifts.
2. Boost Circulation: Engaging in brief stretches enhances blood flow, revitalizing your body and mind for optimal performance.
3. Enhance Focus: A quick stretch session can improve concentration and focus, allowing you to tackle tasks with renewed vigor.

Re: Payroll Reporting – T4s

T4 slips for 2023 have been emailed to the address on file for distribution of payroll pay slips for Menno Place employees.

The initial attempt to email T4 slips for Menno Home and Menno Hospital in the early afternoon of Friday February 23^rd was aborted by the software, the second attempt to email T4 slips in the evening of Friday February 23^rd was successful, consequently some Menno Home and Menno Hospital employees may have received duplicate T4 slips.

Please be aware that Menno Place staff will receive separate T4 slips for remuneration from each company they are employed (Home, Hospital, Apartments and MBS); as well, under each separate company one T4 is issued for casual employment and one T4 is issued for regular employment.  The employer’s name includes “Qualified” for regular employment and “Unqualified” for casual employment.

MPP pension adjustment (PA) statements will be mailed today for those employees who have not yet opted for distributed electronically directly from MPP.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind all employees of the importance of informing us of any changes, such as, address, telephone, marital status, and personal tax credit eligibility (TD1 information).

Subject: Referral Incentive Program
Re: Employee Referral Pilot Program

Menno Place is pleased to announce the establishment of a referral incentive pilot program designed to encourage employees to recommend applicants for difficult-to-fill and in-demand positions. This program applies to LPN and RN applicants only.

The pilot program takes effect immediately, and will be applied as follows.

If an employee refers an applicant for a full-time or part-time position and that applicant is subsequently hired, the referring employee will receive an award of $500 after the new employee satisfactorily completes 90 days of continuous employment. Similarly, an award of $500 will be paid for referral of a casual licensed practical nurse (LPN) or casual registered nurse (RN) after the nurse completes 112.5 hours of work within a 6-month continuous period. In each case, the referred employees will also receive a referred incentive of $250 upon satisfaction of program conditions. To be eligible for the award, you must be employed at Menno Place at the time the referred employee completes the required 90 day or 112.5-hour period, according to the referred position type. All cash awards will be made through payroll and will be subject to applicable tax withholding.

All employees may participate in the program, except members of the Executive Leadership Team, excluded managers and Human Resources/Staffing Team employees. All Menno Place hiring practices apply, including applicant screening, reference, and Vulnerable Sector checks. The final determination of eligibility in each case will be made by Human Resources.

All participants must complete and submit a referral award form prior to the referred person’s starting date. The form can be found in the How To menu at the top of mennoplacestaff.com. Printed and completed forms can be dropped of at the HR offices.

The pilot program’s efficacy will be reviewed every 6 months.
