Primary Employer All employees who hold a second job outside of AtlantiCare or are active in civic/volunteer activities must regard AtlantiCare as the primary place of employment and responsibility. See Policy #410, AtlantiCare as Primary Employer. Service Length of service may be defined as continuous organizational length of service and departmental length of service. Length of service will be considered in all personnel actions but will not be the only or necessarily the most important criterion.

Length of service will be broken by any of the following occurrences: If you quit, resign or retire. If you are discharged. If you are laid off The inability to return to work after an approved leave of absence.

Department length of service is measured by the length of time in the department from the last hire/transfer date. Department service is considered in departmental issues such as scheduling time off.

*Original date of hire can be reinstated if you are rehired within thirty (30) days after a voluntary termination, resignation or following a layoff. If a period of three (3) months elapsed since employee’s resignation, the individual must complete a physical and drug test prior to reinstatement.

Hours of Work Recording of Hours Worked - AtlantiCare is a “round the clock” operation (24 hours, 7 days a week) with varying schedules and shifts. All non-exempt or hourly paid employees are required to “clock in” at the beginning of their work day and “clock out” at the end of the work day using the appropriate time system within your area. No one is permitted to “clock in” more than six (6) minutes prior to the start of their workday. Employees must be paid for all hours worked. All overtime must be authorized in advance by your supervisor. If for some reason you fail to clock in or out, you are responsible for notifying your supervisor. Repeated incidences of not clocking in or out will result in progressive discipline. See Policy #1016, Recording of Work Hours.
