Re: Long weekend Announcement Regarding Sick Calls – Victoria 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 May 18. Additionally, if you call in sick on May 18 and then come to work on the statutory holiday May 19 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

We’re proud of everything our committees and staff are doing to build a safe and healthy care environment.
Take a moment today to check in with yourself and a colleague — wellness is contagious.
