Date: September 5, 2025
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.

MEMO
To: All Menno Place Staff
Date: September 3, 2025
From: Reuben Neufeldt
Re: Farewell to Sukhdeep Raikhi, Payroll Business Partner
_______________________________
It is with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to our Payroll Business Partner, Sukhdeep. In her time with us, she has brought devotion, and commitment to the payroll administration function, ensuring excellence in her work and care for her colleagues. Beyond her professional contributions, she is a devoted mom and a trained pilot, proof that she always aims high.
As she embarks on her next chapter, we wish her clear skies and smooth journeys ahead. May she continue to soar to new heights in both her career and personal life.
Sukhdeep’s last day on campus will be September 10th. Please join us in thanking her for her dedication and in wishing her every success in the exciting adventures to come.
Grandparents Day is this Weekend!
Come and join the fun this weekend in the Menno Home courtyard!
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.
