Questions about employee documents and credentials:
Who can I talk to if I am not sure how to fill-out a form?
If you are having issues completing a form, please reach out to the Total Rewards team or contact your manager.
How do I submit my employee documents?
You can submit any physical copies of your employee documents to the Total Rewards team located at Providence Care Hospital, Level 2. They are available from 8:30-16:00 Monday through Friday.
**Please note that a delay in submitting your employee documents can result in notifications to your manager and can have impacts on your pay.
How do I schedule my Occupational Health appointment?
If your recruitment specialist has not provided you with a date for an Occupational Health Appointment* or if you have lost the appointment invitation, please contact your recruitment specialist as soon as possible to make arrangements.
*Please note that this appointment is a requirement for your employment and missing this appointment can impact your start date at KHSC.
Where can I pick up my ID badge?
During your on-site appointment with the People Services’ HR Assistant to complete your documentation, we recommend that you go to the Security Office to have your photo taken (in order to obtain a badge/ID).
If you will be working at the hospital, you can likely receive your badge the same day. If you’ll be working at the Providence Manor site, PTCC, or in the community, your badge will be sent to your office location.
Questions about Orientation and Welcome
Can I use my phone to attend the virtual orientation?
Completing the Mandatory Employee Training and participating in the New Employee Welcome is extremely challenging from your phone. As such, it is recommended that you attend orientation using a desktop, laptop, or tablet. Phones (either used for video attendance or conferencing) should only be used in emergency situations.
What do I do if I have lost the invitation with the link to orientation?
If you have lost the initial invitation containing the Microsoft Teams link to your New Employee Welcome, please reach out to your host by emailing newemployeewelcome@providencecare.ca
What do I do if I have completed my eLearning in advance of orientation?
If you have completed all of the eLearning that have been assigned to you in KnowledgeNow (not just the priority courses that are highlighted in the Mandatory Employee eLearning), you and your manager may receive an email from KnowledgeNow providing further instructions.
If you do not receive this email, please contact KnowledgeNow@providencecare.ca so we can confirm your completion and provide you with further instructions.
What do I do if I have issues with KnowledgeNow (i.e. courses won’t load/duplicate courses/having issues logging in)?
If you are experiencing any issues or have any questions regarding your eLearning courses in KnowledgeNow, please email KnowledgeNow@providencecare.ca for guidance.
Who do I contact if I am experiencing issues with Microsoft Teams?
If you are experiencing issues with Microsoft Teams (i.e. unable to join, cannot see presenters, audio not working) please contact your host at newemployeewelcome@providencecare.ca and wait for further instructions and troubleshooting.
