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!
