34. Natural Home: Call In/Shift Coverage Procedures

35. Call In/Shift Coverage Procedures Attendance and Punctuality Policy Call in/shift coverage To maintain a safe and productive work environment, BIS expects employees to be reliable and to be punctual in reporting for scheduled work. Absenteeism and tardiness place a burden on other employees and on BIS and will not be tolerated. In the rare instances when employees cannot avoid being late to work or are unable to work as scheduled, they should notify their supervisor as soon as possible in advance of the anticipated tardiness or absence and their start time should reflect the late start time as discussed in the Time Keeping and Mileage Log policy (401). Changes to the scheduled start and/or end time of any publish schedule must be submitted to the Staffing Coordinator of that client within 24 hours of the changes so that it may be reflected in the employee's published schedule. Unreported and undocumented changes to a published schedule will result in disciplinary action. Failure to follow the agency's call off/shift coverage policies will subject the employee to disciplinary action. • Employees that call off to a scheduled shift during the hours of Friday at 3pm to Monday at 8am will receive a first and final disciplinary action (DAF). • Employees that call off to a second shift during the hours of Friday at 3pm to Monday at 8am during a six month period will be terminated. • Employees that have three call offs of any nature during a six-month period (unless excused by a physician's note) will be terminated. • Employees that are late to three scheduled shifts in a 6 month period will receive a first and final disciplinary action (DAF). Employees that are late to an additional shift in a 6 month period and have already received a first and final warning regarding tardiness will be subject to termination. Poor attendance and excessive tardiness are disruptive. Either may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

36. Any BIS employee found to be in violation of these or any policies/ procedures will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Progressive Disciplinary Action: • Verbal Feedback • Written Feedback • Action plan/suspension (Final notice for improvement) *disqualified for annual increase or pay rate for that calendar year • Termination – • Training repayment policy enforced • Recovery of any agency/client items • HIPAA and confidentiality agreements invoked Call In/Shift Coverage Procedures

I prompted SP every minute explaining how many minutes she had left to take one bite. SP refused to take any bites. After the five minutes were over I explained to SP that we would sit at the table until it was time to take her bath and go to bed. SP continued to sit and look. SP began to rest her head on her hand as if she was going to sleep. At 7:00pm, her room mate began to eat her dinner, Subway. SP began pointing to her roommate's plate saying she was hungry. I gave SP her meds and prompted her to eat her food. SP responded by scratching staff, ripping her shirt and punching her body. She was prompted to have nice hands. At 7:15 SP threw her spoon at roommate and was removed to her bedroom where she sat with nice hands. At 7:30, SP chose her clothes for the next day, her night clothes and began her bath routine.
