Your duties today

Thanks for being our dedicated employee who helps to make a difference in the lives of our clients

NB: SHIFT CHANGE CHECK OFF IS DONE ON THE PHONE OF THE STAFF COMING IN, NOT ON THE PHONE OF THE STAFF LEAVING. INCOMING STAFF MUST TAKE THEIR TIME TO GET A RUNDOWN FROM THE STAFF LEAVING THE SHIFT THEN ALSO TAKE THEIR TIME TO GO OVER THE PHYSICAL DUTIES OF THE STAFF THAT LEFT. INCOMING STAFF MUST BE SURE THE OUTGOING STAFF DID THEIR JOB BEFORE COMPLETING THE SHIFT CHANGE CHECKLIST AND SUMMITING. THE SUPERVISOR WILL GO THROUGH THE LIST AND WILL GO TO THE LOCATIONS TO AUDIT UNANNOUNCED. IF A STAFF SUBMITS A REPORT AS ‘’DONE’’ WHERE ALL THE DUTIES WERE NOT DONE, THE STAFF SUBMITTING AND THE STAFF LEAVING THE SHIFT WILL BE WARNED AND IF SUCH BEHAVIOR CONTINUES, IT WILL LEAD TO SUSPENSION AND TO A GREATER EXTENT TERMINATION FROM THE COMPANY.
