JOB DUTIES

You will be given a copy of your job description, along with a review of your job

duties and responsibilities. Please take the time to read over your written job

description carefully. Your job description will be a basis for evaluating your job

performance. You must recognize that your job description serves as a general

outline of your basic job duties and responsibilities, and that you may be required

to assume other duties when assigned by your supervisor.

ORIENTATION AND INITIAL EDUCATION

Getting off to a good start is very important. We believe that in order for an

employee to have a successful and satisfying employment experience, it is crucial

that he/she feels at home in our organization and that the employee understands

the importance of the services which he/she provides to the Company. To that

end, all employees should receive proper orientation for their jobs.

Following the acceptance of employment, the supervisor will discuss duties and

the CompanyÊs policies and procedures with the new employee. A copy of this

Employee Handbook will be given to each new employee. You must read the

Handbook thoroughly and direct any questions to your supervisor.

The Company will make every effort to fully inform the employee of Company

policies and procedures and to ensure that he/she understands his/her job

responsibilities. The Employee Handbook and other materials which are provided

to the employee contain a wealth of information regarding the Company. In

addition, the employee is encouraged to ask questions and voice concerns during

the orientation period.

An employee must always remember that we all learn and progress at a different

pace. An employeeÊs opportunity for increased responsibility and advancement

will be determined by the employeeÊs own performance and by how well he/she

handles the responsibilities of his/her current position.

New employees will receive orientation from their supervisor and the Executive

Director according to the New Employee Orientation Schedule. It is the

employeeÊs responsibility to notify their supervisor if they feel sufficient

orientation has not been provided or that they are not sufficiently trained to begin

or continue to do their job.

Following general orientation, an employee may be assigned to work with a team

member/mentor working in the same position. The mentor will orient the

employee to specific tasks associated with the job. This is a good time to get to

know residents and other team members.

Prior to being assigned to work independently, the mentor will discuss with the

supervisor the status of training. Also, the new hire will discuss their orientation

with the supervisor to determine additional training needs.
