In short
- You complete orientation before your first shift, including abuse reporting, privacy, social media and emergencies.
- Your supervisor evaluates your work in writing at least once a year. Your training plan is based on it.
- Falsifying records or EVV, or any abuse of a client, leads to removal from client care and may lead to dismissal.
- If you have a workplace problem, talk to your supervisor or use the employee grievance form.
- You will not be punished for reporting abuse or raising a concern in good faith. Retaliating against an abuse reporter is a crime.
