Fall is here! And WOW, it looks like I missed the whole month of September. I just noticed when I opened the file to write this week’s message that the last message I wrote was Aug 31. I don’t know about you, but time is very hard to track the older I get. Not only do days go by incredibly fast, but apparently so do months. Ughhhhh.
I have a couple of important items to update you on. First, the COVID premium stopped on Sept 30. If the state restarts it, we will follow along, but at this time we do not have any word they are extending the premium pay. As you know, we offered the COVID premium pay on a much broader basis than the state, but we are still using their service dates for the benefit. We will keep you advised if anything changes.
November is Caregiver Appreciation Month and we have historically hosted a Thank You Dinner for all employees and a guest during the month. Due to the pandemic, we will not be hosting everyone at one dinner this year. We still have a Thank You Event planned, but we had to get a little creative this year. More to come on this mystery event in the next few weeks.
The new TEAM pay has been a nice reward for about half of our caregivers. We have shifts everyday that go unfilled that are available to help you get to the minimum weekly 20 hour threshold. Open shifts are offered to you via text and are always available to view on-demand in your ClearCare Go mobile app. If you are not seeing these offerings, please give the office a call and talk with Linda or Mark.
