PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS FOR DAY SERVICES

As part of a recruitment and retention grant, The Department of Human Services awarded Misericordia grant money to cover the cost of this year's performance bonuses for all staff in the Day Services programs. The bonus amounts will be consistent with the rest of the campus. The only difference is that performance bonuses for Day Services must be given prior to June 30 per DHS. All other performance bonuses will be paid out on August 23. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your director or AVP.

THE MISERICORDIA-WIDE TEXTING SYSTEM

Next week an emergency text message will be sent to all staff from 833-569-2203. Please ensure your phone numbers are up-to-date in ADP.
