There has been an increased number of Health Care Maintenance requests (IH time). An instance occurred when 4 nurses requested time off on the same day. Operationally, this is just not sustainable.
The CBA also states that 'On request, Employees will be required to show proof of such care'. It is not my preference to have to enact this clause. IH time may also be denied if we are unable to safely staff the unit.
Mileage Submissions
Great news! We are making mileage submission PAPERLESS. Chelsea has asked that we fill in the MyConnection submission, but there is no longer a need for an attachment or to submit the mileage form to her.
Because you are able to claim some personal tax deductions for the use of your vehicle, you are encouraged to keep your mileage forms for personal use, but they are no longer required by the employer.
Black Schedule Book
2 more pages were added to the black book this week. For simplicity, you will notice that I no longer put D4 beside people's names. If it's just marked D, you are assigned to home visits. We will continue to assign D1, D5, D6 & KF.
OH&S Annual Learning Packages
Nicole has sent out the yearly OH&S learning packages. You will receive them through your SHA email as some of the links only have access on SHA computers. Please complete as time allows. When completed submit entire packages to Nicole.
In Scope Performance Reviews
SHA has developed a standardized provincial in-scope performance review form. Chelsea will be taking time to meet with all permanent part time employees in our department to complete this form. Performance reviews provide a platform for meaningful two-way conversations between employees and Managers/Supervisors to:
- Discuss individual performance based on demonstration of the SHA CARES Values in everyday work,
- Help individuals understand their strengths and their valued areas of contribution
- Identify opportunities for learning and growth.
