In short

  • The governing body is legally responsible for Sample Agency, LLC and approves every policy.
  • Our organizational chart shows who you report to, all the way down to the care given in the home. Ask your supervisor to show you where you fit.
  • Follow your line of authority. If you cannot reach your supervisor, call the office at (404) 555-0100.
  • The Agency never hands its management or supervision to another company. If someone outside the Agency tries to direct your work, tell your supervisor.
  • You can raise a concern with the governing body if it is not dealt with through your line of authority.
