## Sick Notes for Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Employees
The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge (JPL) is one of Jasper's largest employers, with hundreds of seasonal workers across housekeeping, food & beverage, front desk, recreation, spa, maintenance, and grounds. If you're a JPL employee who needs a sick note, here's the fastest way to get one.
### The JPL Employee's Challenge
Jasper Park Lodge is located on Lac Beauvert, a few minutes from Jasper townsite. When you're sick:
- **Seton-Jasper Healthcare Centre** has 3+ hour wait times
- **No walk-in clinic** exists in Jasper
- **Hinton** is 45 minutes east with its own 2+ hour waits
- **Many JPL staff live on-property** in staff accommodation and may not have vehicles
- **JPL operates 24/7** — you might get sick before a 6 AM housekeeping shift or an 11 PM night audit shift
### MedLetter: Accepted by JPL HR
MedLetter provides official sick notes from a CPSA-registered physician. The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge HR department accepts medical documentation from any licensed Alberta physician. Our notes include:
- Physician's full name and CPSA registration number
- Official letterhead
- Physician's signature
- Date of assessment and recommended absence period
Forward your MedLetter note to your department manager and copy HR. It's the same documentation you'd receive from any Alberta hospital or clinic.
### How It Works for JPL Staff
1. **Open MedLetter.ca on your phone** — from your staff room, your cabin, or your bed
2. **Complete the 5-minute form** — basic info about your illness and employment
3. **Pay $49** — flat fee, no surprise charges
4. **Receive your signed sick note by email** — typically within hours
5. **Forward to your manager and HR** — done
### Specific Departments at JPL
**Housekeeping:** Early morning starts mean you might wake up sick before the sun rises. Submit your MedLetter request immediately and have your note before your shift would have started.
**Food & Beverage:** Working with food while sick is a health code violation. Get your documentation quickly so you can notify your team lead and stay home.
**Front Desk / Night Audit:** Irregular hours mean you might get sick at any time. MedLetter is available 24/7, matching your schedule.
**Recreation / Spa / Grounds:** Physically demanding roles where working while sick can lead to injury. Get your note and recover properly.
### International Workers at JPL
A significant portion of JPL's seasonal workforce comes from outside Alberta:
- IEC working holiday visa holders from around the world
- LMIA-based work permit holders recruited internationally
- Canadians from other provinces working a season in the Rockies
**MedLetter does not require an Alberta health card.** Our flat $49 fee applies regardless of your insurance status or country of origin. You simply need to be currently working in Alberta.
### JPL Staff Accommodation
If you live in JPL staff accommodation on the lodge property, MedLetter is especially convenient:
- No need to find a ride to the hospital
- No need to walk to Jasper townsite while sick
- No need to wait for a bus or taxi
- Complete everything from your phone in your room
### What About Extended Illness?
If you're going to miss more than 3 consecutive days, Alberta Employment Standards allow your employer to request medical documentation. MedLetter can provide notes covering multi-day absences. For longer absences, we can also provide return-to-work letters ($79) when you're ready to resume duties.
