HR Team Member Handbook 2025

Drug and Alcohol-Free Workplace AtlantiCare has a vital interest in ensuring a safe, healthful and drug/alcohol-free working environment for our employees as well as the people we serve. The possession, use, transfer, sale, manufacture, distribution, dispensation or purchase of illegal drugs is prohibited. You are required to notify the Human Resources department of any arrest or conviction under a criminal drug statute no later than 5 days after the conviction or arrest. The use, misuse or abuse of prescription or over the counter drugs or alcohol where such use impairs the employee’s ability to safely perform their job or may adversely affect the safety of anyone or reporting to work with an odor of alcohol on breath or clothes is prohibited. Violations will result in discipline up to and including immediate discharge. See Policy #415, Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace.

Employees suffering from drug dependency are encouraged to seek medical treatment and rehabilitation through the AtlantiCare’s Employee Assistance Program

Access and Confidentiality of Employment Files

The Human Resource Department maintains a confidential personnel file on each employee. Active employees may request to review their individual file, with the exception of pre-employment information, by submitting a written request to Human Resources. See Policy #417, Access and Confidentiality of HR Employee Files. Note: Medical Staff files are not considered to be employment files.

Reallocation and Inter-Campus Use of Staff

To meet AtlantiCare’s needs, all employees may be required to accept work assignments outside their usual job, department and location as swings in census levels fluctuate, in accordance with business needs or as the department’s scope of responsibility is altered. Employees may be asked to work at another location on an extended basis. See Policy #1027, Staffing Adjustments.

Coaching, Counseling, and Discipline

Coaching for success is an on-going process intended to support and teach. Occasionally, problems arise that require corrective measures.
