Please be sure to review all orientation materials before arriving on site. We cover PPE training and demonstrations during the one-hour eLearning module you are required to participate in before your first shift.

Timekeeping

We are not currently on the Kronos system. Because of this, hourly team members volunteering at an Upper Chesapeake facility will need to send your supervisor an email at the time you arrive/begin working and again at the end of the shift/when you are leaving. Please also include Deb Bedard in the email so she can validate your time with your supervisor.

Meals

You are welcome to get food from our cafeteria or bring food with you. Each unit has a microwave for reheating. You may eat in your unit's staff lounge, the cafeteria, or conference rooms designated for meal breaks. Please do not eat with others. Team members must maintain social distancing when eating/unmasked.
