As a member of the American Staffing
Association, ATC Healthcare Services pledges its support of, and adherence
to, the principles and practices set forth below. The company acknowledges
that such compliance is in the best interests of the staffing service
industry, its clients, and its employees. ATC Healthcare Services
agrees to always strive:
To comply with all laws and regulations applicable to
our business, and to maintain high standards of ethical conduct in the
operation of that business and in our dealings with employees,
clients, and competitors.
To treat all applicants and employees with dignity and
respect, and to provide equal employment opportunities, based on bona
fide qualifications, without regard to race, color, religion, national
origin, sex, age, disability, or any basis prohibited by applicable
law.
To maintain high standards of integrity in all
advertising, and to assign the best qualified employees to fill
clients’ needs.
To determine the experience and qualifications of
applicants and employees, as we deem appropriate to the circumstances,
or as may be required by law.
To explain to employees prior to assignment their wage
rate, applicable benefits, hours of work and other assignment
conditions and to promptly pay any wages and benefits due in
accordance with the terms of their employment and applicable legal
requirements.
To encourage employee efforts to upgrade their skills.
To satisfy all applicable employer obligations,
including payment of the employer’s share of social security, state
and federal unemployment insurance taxes, and workers’ compensation
and to explain to employees that ATC is responsible for such
obligations.
To ascertain that employees are assigned to work sites
that are safe, that they understand the nature of the work the client
has called for and can perform such work without injury to themselves
or others, and that they receive any personal safety training and
equipment that may be required.
To take prompt action to address employee questions,
concerns, or complaints regarding unsafe work conditions,
discrimination, or any other matter involving the terms and conditions
of their employment.
To confirm their temporary employees’ periods of
service upon request by a subsequent employer and with the consent of
the employee.
To observe the following guidelines to ensure an
orderly transition when taking over an account being serviced by
another staffing firm:
-
The outgoing firm and its employees should,
whenever feasible, be given reasonable prior notice that the
account is being transferred.
-
Assigned employees of the outgoing firm should,
whenever feasible, be allowed to continue working on the payroll
of the outgoing firm for some reasonable transition period;
thereafter, they should be given the choice of accepting an
assignment with another client of the outgoing firm if one is
available, or applying to stay on their current assignment with
the new staffing firm.
These guidelines are subject to
enforceable contracts between ATC Healthcare Services and our clients,
employees, and other parties, and are not intended to prohibit or discourage
any other provisions or arrangements, agreeable to the parties, that achieve
an orderly transfer of accounts. Whenever feasible, we specifically
address the terms and conditions relating to the transfer of account in
written agreements with out clients.
