MEDICATION CERTIFICATION (MED CERT)
Failure to Become and Maintain Med-Certification
Failure to obtain and/or maintain med-certification is a serious issue and can disrupt
employment.
Specifically:
Employees who fail to obtain full med-certification or recertification within the
required time frame will be demoted to per-diem status and will only be eligible
for per-diem benefits
The employee’s position and work shifts will be posted and filled
Once the employee becomes med-certified, there is no guarantee their originally
scheduled work shifts, or full-time/part-time status will be reinstated
Employees who fail to maintain med-certification will have their pay rate
reduced by $0.25/hour
Employees may also be subject to other disciplinary action, up to and including
termination
Med-Certification Coordinator
The agency med-certification (med-cert) coordinator is responsible for working with
employees and other agency team members to ensure completion of the med-
certification requirements.
The med-cert coordinator will contact employees using the contact information on
file in Paycom, including email, phone, and text.
Failure to respond to the med-cert coordinator within 24-business hours will result
in a “No Action” occurrence and will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and
including termination.
Employee Responsibilities
Employees must complete the med-certification process accurately and on time. This
includes submitting all requested paperwork and information to the med-
certification coordinator as instructed, within 24 business hours of the request.
Attendance is mandatory at all classes, practicums, and tests.
