Congratulations on Your Retirement Debbie!
Congratulations to Debbie Jamison, Resident Care Coordinator (RCC) at Menno Home E1, on her retirement after 10+ years of service at Menno Home and over 26 years as a nurse!
Debbie’s team members shared memories of working with Deb and the many incidents that happened over the years on their special unit. Debbie’s most cherished memory is working with her amazing team. Debbie will be greatly missed! She looks forward to riding her motorcycle with her hubby and travelling over the next year.
Blessings to Debbie in her retirement!

Volume 2022.14 – Onboarding of New Facial Recognition Scanner and GoldCare Employee Portal
Onboarding of New Facial Recognition Scanner and GoldCare Employee Portal
HR is pleased to offer 2 new services to our Menno Team Members: The Facial Recognition Scanner (to replace the hand scanner) and the GoldCare Employee Portal.
The Facial Recognition scanner will eliminate the need to touch the time clock and therefore discourage the threat of infection.
The GoldCare Employee Portal will allow each team member online access to their monthly schedule, Personal Information and be the place to submit your leave requests.
The first phase of set up will start with Menno Hospital on October 4, 6, 9. There will be a sign-up sheet located at the Menno Hospital W1 scanner where you can book a time. At the set up you will receive your GoldCare User ID, Password and be set up on the Facial Scanner. You will be given a Basic User training tool on how to use the Employee Portal and an online video will walk you through the steps.
You can come during your shift, so ensure you let your supervisor know you will be leaving the unit for approximately 10 minutes. Sign up by September 30, 2022.
Menno Home and Apartments will be set up at a later date to be determined.
Sincerely,
Jeanette Lee
Director, Human Resources

Volume 2022.17 – Day of Mourning
Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement in response to the federal government declaring a national holiday to mark the Queen’s funeral:
“Over the last few days, British Columbians have joined with people across the country and around the world in an outpouring of support for the Royal Family over the loss of Queen Elizabeth II. Our government will follow the lead of the federal government and join with other provinces in observing the national day of mourning to mark the Queen’s funeral.
This one-time national holiday will be Monday, Sept. 19, 2022. All regular staff at Menno Place will receive premium pay if you work on this date and be provided another day off in lieu. This lieu day off will be scheduled by Staffing on your next 3 day break. Casual staff who work this day will receive premium pay but do not receive another day off. Regular staff not scheduled to work on September 19 are entitled to another day off with pay.
Team members who work a regular Monday to Friday schedule will have the Monday off to honor this day.
For those who are scheduled to work this day, please plan for daycare or other situations that may arise due to this short notice.
