I - General Employment Information
Note: Remember, while humor can add a lighthearted touch, it's important to maintain the integrity and seriousness of the policy statement.
Immigration and Employment Eligibility
Alright folks, let's talk paperwork – but don't worry, we promise to make it as painless as possible! In compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (that's a mouthful, isn't it?), UMS Homecare can only hire individuals who are authorized to work in the U.S. So, no sneaking in through the back door like a ninja! We'll need to see some official documents proving you're the real deal – no fake IDs allowed! You'll also have to fill out some forms, including the infamous Immigration and Naturalization Service Form I-9. It's like a rite of passage, really – just sign on the dotted line and prove you're not an alien (unless you are, in which case, welcome to Earth!). Oh, and if your work authorization is on a time limit, don't forget to set a reminder to renew it – we'd hate to lose you over some expired paperwork!"
Harassment
UMS Homecare, where we take workplace vibes as seriously as we take our morning coffee. Here's the deal: We're all about creating a working environment that's as cozy as your favorite sweater and as welcoming as your grandma's kitchen. That means no room for discriminatory intimidation, sexual harassment, or any other shenanigans that might ruin the party.
Harassment – it's like wearing socks with sandals, just plain wrong. Whether it's verbal jabs or unwanted advances, we're not about that life. And hey, no one's immune to the rules – not even if you're the office prankster or the resident office mom/dad. We're all in this together, folks!
So, if you see something, say something – because nobody wants to work in a place that feels like a bad sitcom. And if your supervisor is M.I.A. or somehow tangled up in the drama, just give us a shout at 833-286-7466. We've got your back like a trusty umbrella on a rainy day.
Let's keep it classy, folks – because life's too short for workplace drama."

Equal Opportunity Employer
We're all about equality – we don't discriminate based on whether you prefer pineapple on your pizza or not! Seriously though, our policy is to hire and promote for all jobs without any funny business like judging someone by their race, religion, or any other random stuff. Decisions on employment and promotions are as fair as a game of rock-paper-scissors (but with fewer ties). If you spot any shenanigans or monkey business going on, don't hesitate to let us know. Just shout it out to your supervisor, or if they're off chasing unicorns, give us a ring at 833-286-7466. We're all ears – metaphorically, of course!
Staff Trial Period
A.K.A. The 'Getting to Know You' Phase
Congratulations on joining the UMS Homecare family – it's like joining a quirky sitcom cast, but with less drama and more teamwork! So, here's the scoop: For the first three months of your employment (think of it as our version of the probation period, but without the ankle monitor), you'll be on what we affectionately call the 'trial' or 'introductory' basis.
During this time, it's like a mutual evaluation party – you get to check us out, and we get to see if you're the peanut butter to our jelly. We'll be looking at things like your ability to mingle with the office crew, your punctuality (no tardy slips, please), how you handle yourself professionally, your eagerness to soak up knowledge like a sponge, and of course, how you rock your job duties.
If all goes well – and we're crossing our fingers for you – after this trial period, you'll likely earn yourself a shiny badge of regular full-time or part-time employment status. And hey, that also means you might just qualify for some sweet employee health care benefits. Win-win!
So, let's make these first three months a blast – think of it as the training montage in a feel-good movie. You've got this, and we've got your back!"
New Hire Policies
Because We Want You to Thrive, Not Just Survive
Welcome aboard, future UMS Homecare superstar! Before we hand you the keys to the kingdom (or at least your desk), there are a few hoops to jump through. We promise, it's nothing like a reality TV competition – more like a friendly game of 'Let's Make Sure You're Ready for Success.'
First up, we might ask you to undergo a physical examination or other tests – don't worry, it's just to make sure you're fit as a fiddle and ready to tackle whatever comes your way. And hey, if your job involves cruising around in company vehicles, we'll need to give your driving record a quick check-up (MVR, anyone?). Think of it as a little driving test – nothing to stress about unless you're planning on bringing your Mario Kart skills to the office parking lot!
Oh, and speaking of driving, please make sure your wheels are road-ready with a valid driver's license and some good ol' insurance. Because let's face it, nobody wants to be stranded on the side of the road with a company car that's seen better days. Bottom line-Failure to maintain acceptable driving standards or vehicular insurance may be sufficient cause for immediate termination.
Now, we get it – sometimes there are special cases that require a little extra TLC. If your job comes with some unique requirements, don't worry – we'll spell it out for you in black and white. Just consider it your personalized 'Conditions of Employment,' like getting your own theme song but without the catchy tune.
So, let's get this show on the road (pun intended)! We're thrilled to have you on board, and we can't wait to see what amazing things you'll accomplish with us.
CPR Certification other Licensing Requirements
Keepin' it Legal and Licensable: Because We're All About the Legit Life
Alright, team, let's talk about keeping things above board – think of it as our version of 'playing by the rules' but with a lot more high-fives. Some roles around here might require you to keep your licenses, CPR cards, and even TB tests up to date – we know, it's like trying to keep all your ducks in a row, but with a lot more paperwork!
Now, don't panic – we're not asking you to pull off a magic trick or become a professional juggler. Just make sure your licenses are current, your CPR card is still pumping (pun intended), and your TB test is as clear as a sunny day. Because let's face it, we want you to be in tip-top shape to save the day – just like a superhero, but without the cape (unless you're into that sort of thing).
And hey, if for some reason you find yourself slipping on the qualification front – whether it's failing to renew your license or letting your CPR card expire – don't worry, we won't send you off on a one-way ticket to the unemployment line. But just like a game of Jenga, if one too many blocks fall, we might have to say goodbye. We're all about building a strong team here, and that means making sure everyone's playing their part.
So, let's keep those qualifications shining bright like a diamond (or at least as bright as a freshly laminated license). Your job security – and maybe even a few high-fives – depend on it!"

Speak up: If you spot anything fishy or downright dangerous, don't keep it to yourself! Your supervisor is like your safety superhero – they're here to save the day (or at least prevent any workplace disasters).
Trust your gut: Got a bad feeling about something? Don't ignore it! Your spidey senses might just be trying to tell you something important.

Two weeks' notice, please: We're not saying you gotta give us a full Broadway production, but a two-week notice is appreciated. Think of it as your way of giving us a heads-up before you drop the mic and make your grand exit.
No ghosting, please: We get it, sometimes things don't work out and you gotta make a quick exit. But if you resign without notice, just know you might be missing out on that invite to the reunion tour. Yep, we're talking about your eligibility to be rehired – don't leave us hangin', okay?
