At Will Employment
Nothing in this Handbook creates a contract for employment for any particular period of time, nor does this Handbook change the "at-will" employment relationship between the Company and any of its employees. Each employee has the right to terminate his/her employment with the Company at any time, with or without notice, for any reason. The Company also has the right to terminate an employee’s employment at any time, with or without notice, for any reason not prohibited by law. No employee of the Company has an employment contract that is not terminable at the will of either the Company or the employee unless it is in writing, clearly states that it is not terminable at will, and is signed by the Owner of the Company.
Due to the nature of home care and home health care, the Company cannot guarantee hours of work each workweek. PCA’s and HHA’s are employed on an as needed basis. This means that the employee works whenever the Company’s and clients’ needs require it. Employees do not have a guaranteed work schedule. The employee’s work schedule is based on client needs. Hours of work are determined by availability and available work assignments at any given time, therefore assignments cannot be guaranteed. ComForCare does not have an obligation to offer a set number of hours in any given work week. Employees have the right to accept or decline shifts offered. Employees will be discharged if they have not worked in the past six (6) months. They will be required to go through the orientation process to become active again.
