INFORMATION PRIVACY POLICY AND FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY

We are committed to protecting the privacy of our clients and employees' personal information. "Personal information" includes any identifying or sensitive personal information, such as names, birthdates, Social Security or other ID numbers, addresses, employment or family information, account information, etc. Our policies and practices are intended to meet the requirements of state and federal law regarding collection, protection, and destruction of personal information. We are also committed to the highest standards of financial integrity and accountability regarding the company's funds, resources, and property.

We require our employees to read, know and abide by our privacy and financial policies. These policies apply to all employees.

Neither this agreement nor the Company's privacy policy precludes activity by an employee that is protected under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, such as an employee discussing his or her own wages or terms and conditions of employment with co-workers.

Maintaining confidentiality of information. While you work for us, you may come in contact with the personal information of our applicants, employees, and/or clients. Except as specifically authorized by the Company, you must keep all personal information in your knowledge, possession or control confidential. Unless authorized for a specific purpose, you may not make copies of any documents (including electronic documents) that contain such information. You must keep all personal information in a secure place, such as a locked file cabinet or, in the case of electronic information, in a password-protected electronic environment. You may not release confidential information in any format to any unauthorized person.

Policy continues after termination of employment. You have a continuing duty to maintain the confidentiality of any personal information you acquired or learned of during your employment with the Company. You agree to keep this information confidential after the termination of your employment.

Financial accountability. The company maintains strict policies, accountability procedures and controls designed to safeguard resident and company funds and other company resources, including procedures to identify theft. If we entrust funds, property or other resources to your management and care, we expect you to follow the Company’s policies precisely and to exercise the highest degree of care and accountability regarding such resources.

What if you violate these policies? Your failure to protect confidential information will result in discipline, up to and including termination of employment, without advance warning or second chances and without severance pay or benefits. Violation of the privacy policy or the loss or misuse of company funds or resources may also be a breach of state and/or federal criminal law, and violators will be referred to the appropriate law enforcement authority for criminal prosecution as appropriate. Termination of your employment for violation of these policies will be permanently recorded in your personnel record and may result in denial of unemployment benefits under state law. If requested by subsequent or prospective employers, we may inform them if you were terminated for violating these policies.

You must read and abide by the policies. You agree that you have read and understand this Information Privacy Policy and Financial Accountability. You may ask us about any questions you have about these policies at any time. You agree to abide by these policies and realize the consequences of violating them. If you are terminated for violation of this Information Privacy Policy and Financial Accountability, you authorize us to notify subsequent or prospective employers of that fact (if requested by them). Duplicates of this policy have been signed, one for employer and one which has been given to you.
