From:
Milton Sussman
President & CEO
As part of the existing efforts to deal with our ongoing financial challenge, we are
introducing updated restrictions on the hiring of staff into either new or existing
vacancies within the region.
Staffing costs are the largest expense within the region and we need to ensure
that this cost continues to be managed as efficiently as possible. Based on this,
the following hiring restrictions are effective today, and will remain active up
to April 1, 2017:
Non-Union Positions
No hiring is permitted into current and new vacancies for existing positions,
or into newly created positions for a period of 4 months.
Any newly created positions require approval as per the Appeal Process.
This applies to all non-union positions, excluding front-line management
directly involved in patient care (eg. Team Managers, Program Team
Managers, Nursing Supervisors). In these cases, a minimum of 6 weeks of
position vacancy is required.
Unionized Positions
Exceptions
The Human Resources Department will not proceed with the hiring process
should hiring requests not be in accordance with the above.
Please direct any questions regarding this memorandum to Glenn McLennan,
Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer.
