  • You may attend orientation and classroom training while you wait, but you have no contact with clients.
  • If you are arrested for anything, tell the Administrator immediately and before your next shift.
  • You will be rescreened every 5 years. The office will tell you when.
  • Your screening results are private and are kept only in your personnel file.
