Temporary Postings
Effective July 29, 2025, there will be a change in how notice is applied to temporary positions.
While it has been common practice to provide two weeks’ notice to staff when a temporary position was ending, this is not required under the Collective Agreement. The agreement states that no notice is necessary when a temporary position ends due to the return of the incumbent employee.
To align with this, temporary positions will now end on the day the incumbent returns. The amount of notice provided to temporary staff will depend on how much notice the Employer receives from the employee who owns the position.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your shop steward.
Thank you.
MEMO Re: Long Weekend Sick Calls – BC Day
To: All Menno Place Staff
From: Jessy Manhas
Date: July 24, 2025
Re: Long weekend Announcement Regarding Sick Calls – BC Day
Dear Team,
In the past, we have noticed a pattern of increased sick calls over the long weekend, followed by staff working on the statutory holiday the next day. All staff scheduled to work during the long weekend are expected to report to their shifts as usual.
Due to this recurring pattern, we will require proof of illness/doctor’s note as per the Collective Agreement from anyone who calls in sick on Aug 3, 2025. Additionally, if you call in sick on Aug 3 and then come to work on the statutory holiday, Aug 4, an investigation will be initiated by your Manager with a Shop Steward and a doctor’s note is mandatory. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action and a risk of no sick time pay.
We appreciate your understanding and dedication to our residents’ care. Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure smooth operations throughout the long weekend.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your department manager.
Sincerely,
Jessy Manhas
Manager of People & Culture
