Terms & Conditions of Employment

The terms and conditions of your employment are governed by Hospital policies and procedures, which may be amended from time to time. The Hospital’s intranet site is the primary location where these policies and procedures can be found. As an Employee of the Hospital it is your responsibility to make yourself aware of these policies and procedures. Please feel free to contact your Manager if you have any questions regarding the terms and conditions of your employment. You will receive more information during your New Employee Orientation session and access to the Hospital’s intranet site will be available once you are on site. If you require a hard copy of our policies and procedures, this will be available to you at orientation.

Depending on your position and employment type you may be represented by a union. Should this be the case, it will be specified in your offer of employment. If your position is included in one of the bargaining units, your terms and conditions of employment are set out in a collective agreement. Wherever terms or conditions of employment in a collective agreement differ from those of the Hospital, the Collective Agreement will prevail. A copy of your collective agreement will be provided to you by a representative from your union.
