HR Team Member Handbook 2025

Licensure and Registration (EWR) Essential work requirements include licenses, certifications, annual education; TB screening, Respiratory Mask Fit Testing, and any other AtlantiCare and department specific training. Employees are responsible for being current with all their essential work requirements in order to work. Progressive discipline up to and including termination may result should an essential work requirement lapse. See Policy #3926, Essential Work Requirements. Staff Planning Your unit must be staffed with an appropriate number of competent individuals in order to provide safe and effective care for each patient at all times. Many factors are taken into consideration in staffing and scheduling to create a fair and consistent balance between the needs of the patients and the needs of the employees. Staffing Schedules - ARMC The hospital master schedule is a six-week rotation. Your manager must receive requests for time off, other than planned vacations, no later than three (3) weeks prior to the start of that schedule. The workweek begins Saturday at 6 p.m. You may be required to work weekend schedules and holidays; be on call; and work overtime if an unforeseen emergent circumstance arises after other staffing efforts are exhausted. Check with your supervisor to review the requirements. To ensure adequately trained staff on a planned basis, vacation requests must be submitted and approved in advance in accordance to department/business unit policy. See Policy #433 Staff Planning and Staff Scheduling Guidelines Policy #4375 Identification Badges Photo identification badges are issued to all employees, contracted personnel and volunteers upon starting employment with AtlantiCare. You are required to wear the ID badge in clear view at all times while on AtlantiCare premises. Your ID badge also serves as a means to record your time for payroll purposes and allows you to have parking privileges. If you lose or damage your ID badge, see your manager immediately. A replacement fee may be required. See Policy #1034, Identification Badges. Preliminary Evaluation For new hires and employees who transfer into different positions, your first three (3) months of employment (six (6) months for pool employees) are considered the preliminary period. Your supervisor will formally evaluate you at the end of this period.
