Today we discussed "hire dates" (employment) versus the date a staff begins working (assuming job responsibilities) and how they relate to timing requirements for Background checks and orientation training. In order for the department to ascertain whether certain requirements are met with regard to timing, these dates will need to be documented specifically in staff records if they differ.
Staff should not be "hired" (employed) until the results of the federal Criminal Record Check is received back.
Program specific orientation training must be completed prior to the new staff working alone with children and no later than 7 days after they assume job responsibilities.
New staff must receive the required written policies / procedures / documentation prior to working alone with children and within 7 days of employment.
