<description><![CDATA[Good morning, yes we provide transportation to staff in inclement weather.  We only use company vehicles to transport staff members.  If an employee is late due to inclement weather, they can use TOP time to fill in for any late time.  Please see our policy below:<br /> <br />Inclement Weather<br /><br />We provide quality care to its residents on a continuous, day-to-day basis and as such, always operates as normal business even during times of inclement weather.  You are expected to report to work during periods of inclement weather, unless your supervisor had determined that you will not be needed.  It is your responsibility to contact your supervisor at least 2 hours prior to the start of your scheduled shift in order to receive information regarding whether you will be excused from reporting for work due to inclement weather. <br /><br />Employees who fail to report for scheduled work on a day of inclement weather will be charged with an occurrence.  If Employees are unable to make it into work, we will make arrangements to provide a ride in.  If an employee refuses to come in once a ride is offered, they will not use TOP time to fill in those hours. If an employee is late due to inclement weather, they can use TOP time to fill in for any late time.<br /><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yes, we provide some staff transportation during snow.  Our Maintenance Director coordinates this program and our maintenance staff members actually pick up our staff in company vehicles.   Our staff members supply maps, addresses, and contact information that are kept in notebooks for the bad weather events.  We do have limits on distance for picking up staff and staff is required to call and sign up when transportation is required.  This has worked well for us.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We used to provide transportation for staff for inclement weather but have stopped due to the liability…<br /> <br />We now encourage staff members to spend the night in the community if they think they will have trouble making it to work during inclement weather…]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We do provide transportation for staff in snow. We have three AWD vehicles in our fleet that we use for this. The Executive Director, Associate Director, Wellness Director, and two drivers all share in the responsibility of picking up staff. Many folks come prepared to stay the night and many come on their own but for those that are afraid to drive or cannot get out of a subdivision or apartment complex, we will pick them up. We focus on essential employees only.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We do not provide transportation for inclement weather. We make provisions for staff to stay overnight and provide meals at no charge. Uber will provide transportation during inclement weather – some of our staff have used the special Uber transportation if they didn’t want to stay overnight.]]></description>
