Important information from HR
When applying for jobs within the health system, you must complete an internal application. This application can be found on the Employee eLink and is different from an external application found on the SLHS website. If an external application is completed by an internal candidate, it cannot be used and you will need to repeat the process using the internal application.
Name and phone number changes
If you have changed your name or phone number, please complete the corresponding paperwork to update your information. It is vital to the Human Resources Department that your information is correct for record keeping. The form is located on the Employee eLink under "Employee Tools/Personal." If you are changing your name, you must present the form and your new Social Security card in person to Human Resources.
Human Resources is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., and Wednesday from 7 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Saint Luke's Honor Roll
During World War II, Saint Luke's Hospital created an Honor Roll to recognize Saint Luke's employees serving in the war. It was displayed in the old lobby until the early 1960's when the east wing was added but disappeared shortly thereafter. If it still exists, Library Services would like to add it to the hospital archives. If you have seen this important piece of history, please call the Library at 816-531-0560.

SLHS announces R.N. referral bonus program
 Earn $2,500 by referring an exceptional nursing candidate for open R.N. positions
No one understands the vision of SLHS like our current employees. That's why we need your help recruiting your talented and dedicated friends and colleagues with at least one year of R.N. experience to join our nursing team. If your referral is hired and meets service requirements, you'll be eligible for a $2,500 referral bonus!
Important information: You must submit a referral form BEFORE the potential new R.N. candidate applies. The program ends Aug. 1, 2013.
Which SLHS employees can participate?
All full-time, part-time, and PRN employees are eligible (except for administrators and Human Resources staff). Wherever you work at SLHS, you can refer a qualified candidate for any location. Managers and supervisors are eligible, except for candidates fulfilling positions in departments they supervise. If more than one employee refers the same candidate, the referral bonus will be awarded based on who completed the referral document first.
What are the requirements for the job applicants?
Applicants must be individuals NOT currently employed by or on the payroll system of SLHS. Travelers and per agency/diem employees working through any vendor at SLHS are not eligible. The applicant must have a minimum of one year R.N. experience.
Current employees of SLHS or anyone who has worked for SLHS in the past 18 months are not eligible. Referral of a relative must follow the "Hiring of Relative" policy.
How is the referral bonus paid?
Employees whose referral is hired will receive their $2,500 bonus in three installments:
- $500 after the new employee completes the 90-day probationary period
- $1,000 after six months of the new employee's continuous employment
- $1,000 after the successful completion of the new employee's first year of employment
