Employers Choosing to Provide the Orientation Him/Herself
Employers that choose to provide the orientation him/herself must following these steps:
- Complete the Opt-Out Form. The form must be completed and returned to your fiscal intermediary within 14 days. You may mail or fax the form. The contact information for your fiscal intermediary is below.
- Inform your PCA of their requirement to attend the Union-Only portion of an orientation group session. Under the collective bargaining agreement between the Workforce Council and the union that represents your PCA, 30 minutes of the orientation covers workers’ rights and responsibilities presented by a Union representative. The first 30 minutes of every group session will cover these topics. Registration for group sessions is covered below.
- Provide the rest of the orientation to your PCA. You must follow the standard curriculum. Orientation must be provided during non-service hours. Your PCA will be paid $45.00 for completing the full orientation you provide and union-only portion of the orientation group session, which will not be counted against your service budget.
- Once completed, return the Employer Orientation Certification form. Completing and returning this form promptly will ensure your PCA receives credit for completing orientation and is paid the orientation stipend. Orientation is not complete until you have returned the Employer Orientation Certification form AND your PCA has attended the union-only session.
