WDLT Employee Handbook

PROGRAM ONBOARDING POLICY

POLICY SCOPE

All employees working direct care at any of our programs must be properly

onboarded prior to the start of their work shift.

POLICY AND POLICY DEFINITIONS

All employees working direct care at any of our programs must be properly

onboarded, including completing a program orientation and having read through

and understanding all the Individuals’ plans before their work shift.

Properly onboarded means all required documentation, including but not limited to

behavior support plans, medical plans, etc.), has been read, understood, and signed

off. In addition, the employee must complete an onsite walkthrough of the program

to ensure they know where critical items are located including but not limited to

first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, etc.

Employees are required to go through onboarding any time they work at a different

program or when documentation is updated, or critical items are added/relocated at

their assigned program.

If an employee has any questions or concerns about their onboarding, they should

ask questions to the program manager or on-call manager before they start their

work shift.

DOCUMENTATION UPDATES/CRITICAL ITEMS ADDED/RELOCATED

Every time documentation is updated, or critical items are added/relocated in a

program, employees must go through onboarding and sign-off again. This must be

done before the first work shift after the updates have been made.

DIRECTOR/MANAGER RESPONSIBILITIES

Directors and Managers are responsible for ensuring all employees working at their

program(s) are properly onboarded prior to their work shift. This includes not only

initial onboarding, but also when updates are made and/or critical items are

added/relocated.

DISCIPLINARY ACTION

Ensuring team members are properly onboarded to work direct care is not only the

employee’s responsibility, but also those involved with the oversight and processes

of each program. Failure to properly onboard employees will result in disciplinary

action including up to termination.
