Human Resource (HR) Policies Related to Emergencies

 * 1) WEATHER EMERGENCIES
 * 2)  Newark Manor must continue to operate during periods of inclement weather. Therefore, we stress the importance of making every effort to report to work. It is possible that you may, during such emergencies, be asked to stay beyond your scheduled shift. In this instance, you will be compensated by overtime pay.
 * 3) ATTENDANCE
 * 4) Your regular attendance and promptness is essential to providing the highest quality care. Absences add to the workload of your co-workers and disrupt the department’s routine. If you are unable to report to work as scheduled, you must contact your immediate supervisor at least four hours before your scheduled shift time. Absences without valid excuse, excessive absences or continued tardiness will result in disciplinary action. Please note: Absences due to illness greater than three days requires a doctor’s note before returning to work.
 * 5) Newark Manor employees are expected to report to work as scheduled in the event of an emergency and be prepared for extended working hours by procuring items suggested by the checklist below. Newark Manor is not responsible to provide these items.

 * 1) Refer to Figure 4-1 for the list of items that each staff member should have in order to sustain them during an emergency or disaster incident and during recovery time.
