Volume 2022.24 Menno Hospital Phasing out Paper Leave Request Forms
Volume 2022.24 Menno Hospital Phasing out Paper Leave Request Forms
In early October 2022 Menno Hospital Team Members were set up on the GoldCare Employee Portal. This online portal allows staff to see their schedules, review their sick & vacation accruals and submit Leave requests.
You were be given a Basic User training tool on how to use the Employee Portal and an online video will walk you through the steps (located on the Staff website).
Please start using this tool right away for submitting LOA requests and any other time off requests. The paper forms will be phased out on November 15, 2022.
Thank you,

Volume 2022.23 Single Site Staffing Orders Expected to Expire
Volume 2022.23 Single Site Staffing Orders Expected to Expire
On October 13, 2022, the Ministry of Health confirmed that the Facility Staff Assignment Order (the “Order”) is expected to expire on December 31, 2022.
Since April 2020, the Order has limited the movement of staff between certain health facilities, including long-term care and assisted living facilities.
The expiry of the Order will mean that as of January 1, 2023, staff movement between facilities impacted by the Order will no longer be restricted. Also, those working extra hours at straight time to make up hours they missed at other sites will no longer be required to make up these hours.
Thank you,
Jeanette Lee
