Hiya Little Quad, What is the difference between an agreement and a contract? Just how binding would your understanding be if they were actually challenged? The Home Healthcare Industry is one of the fastest growing industries in our country as they seek employees to perform some or most of those duties you listed. And yet, even with those understandings, agreements and contracts, they continue to find themselves before the government by unhappy employees who feel their employers, went too far. I've seen several employee contracts that are 5-10 pages listing what is expected of those who work for various Health Care Agencies. When issues becomes intolerable for either party... everyone begins to read between the lines. Private party caregivers can be more involved then agency, and how does one know when they have crossed the line? Will both parties agree to binding arbitration should there be issues? Often, what begins as a molehill, can develop into mountains. Hence, what I consider to be normal and reasonable here, might be totally unacceptable in California. Just how enforceable would your written understanding be....? How many documented strikes would be required before dismissal? Its tough to be an employer these days as the deck of cards are stacked against YOU. If your private work rules are tougher then the industry... you are going to have a difficult finding employees. If your work rules are too lax... then you will find ample aids, waiting to take advantage of your lack of knowledge. Its not easy.... and I wish you a load of Luck and Good Fortune!
