Welcome to DuraCareNY
Your employment at DuraCareNY is at will, and either party may terminate employment with or without cause. This agreement is not designed to be a contract or alter the employment relationship's at-will nature. If you accept employment with DuraCareNY, you agree to abide by the Company's rules and policies outlined in this agreement and the employee manual.
1. I understand that I will be required to provide promptly all necessary documentation, including but not limited to my resume, licenses, certificates, physical report, drug screens, background checks, etc., for me to be approved for any travel/per‐diem assignment with a DuraCareNY client. Failure to do so may result in
termination of my employment with DuraCareNY.
2. I understand that as part of the above approval process, an investigation may be made in which information is obtained
through personal interviews and a review of information held by law enforcement or other government agencies. I now authorize you to verify my past employment and education, criminal records, motor vehicle records, personal references, and other job-related data provided on this application or via the interview process. I authorize appropriate
individuals, companies, institutions, or agencies to release information and release them from any liability due to such inquiries or disclosure.
3. I understand that I am not in any obligation to accept an assignment offered by DuraCareNY. But once I accept a
travel/per‐diem assignment, I pledge the following:
a. To cooperate with the Client's reasonable instructions and accept the direction, supervision, and control of any responsible person(s) in the Client facility
b. To observe any relevant rules and regulations of the Client facility to which my attention has either been drawn or which I might reasonably be expected to ascertain
c. To not engage in any conduct detrimental to Client's interests. To honor my commitment to completing any assignment/shift I have accepted. If I fail to complete
any assignment/shift, I understand that I have voluntarily terminated my employment with DuraCareNY.
4. I understand that I need to contact my DuraCareNY representative immediately if I am having any trouble with my assignment/shift or if there are any changes in job description, location, or working hours by the Client.
5. I am to contact DuraCareNY immediately if I need more time. DuraCareNY staffers are available 24/7, so you may call us any time of the day or night; however, our regular office hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm,
Monday to Friday. Please call us soon so we can schedule a replacement for your position. I understand that if I do not report to my assignment and do not call DuraCareNY, I have voluntarily terminated my employment with DuraCareNY; I know that I must notify DuraCareNY beforehand if I am late for work or take time off, failing which I know that I have voluntarily terminated my employment with DuraCareNY.
6. If I am confirmed for a shift and I cancel my availability for that shift later than 2 hours before the start, I may be required to pay a late cancellation fee equivalent to 4 hours times the Client bill rate. The late cancellation penalty will be applied to my payroll by deducting the total amount from the next payroll cycle.
7. While on a temporary assignment, if the Client offers me a permanent position or if one is discussed, I will contact my DuraCareNY representative immediately. All fees and conditions are to be handled by DuraCareNY. One of DuraCareNY's clients would unlikely ask me to work for them independently rather than through DuraCareNY. I understand that if I work directly for a Client within one year of my temporary assignment, I will be responsible for paying all employment fees or charges incurred.
8. I understand that DuraCareNY is committed to maintaining a safe working environment for all employees. If I am ever asked to do anything unsafe, observe unsafe working conditions, or be injured at work, I will contact DuraCareNY immediately. Also, I agree to do all the work as safely as possible. If I experience an accident or injury while working for DuraCareNY, I will notify DuraCareNY within 24 hours of the incident.
9. I understand that all client and patient information supplied to me shall be held in strictest confidence, and all
product and materials, including, but not limited to, patent records, client records, documentation, reports, charts, manuals, letters, programs and any other sources of information given to me or obtained by me from the Client or at the work location will be returned to the Client after my shift/assignment. I also agree not to disclose any company trade secrets or confidential information of DuraCareNY or its Client to other entities or individuals.
10. DuraCareNY issues paychecks bi-weekly for the hours worked in the preceding two weeks. I must present to DuraCareNY EVERY MONDAY an actual timesheet signed by the Client to have my direct deposit issued on Friday. If I don't provide such a time card right away, I understand that it will result in my pay being carried over to the next pay period.
11. I accept and understand that no make-ups are allowed after the week period has ended. I will not be paid for those hours. I further understand that all matters relating to the DuraCareNY wages and rates are confidential, and I will not discuss them with Clients, other employees of Client or DuraCareNY, or any co‐worker at the work location, and in doing so, could result in my immediate dismissal from the assignment and possible termination from DuraCareNY.
12. I understand that any monies due DuraCareNY resulting from loans, advances, damaged property, lost property including badges, or unauthorized use of property, including, but not limited to, late shift cancellation penalties, the unauthorized or improper use of telephone, postage meters, computer equipment, software, etc. at DuraCareNY may be deducted from my paycheck(s).
13. When assigned to a contract or per‐diem assignment, I understand that I must confirm my availability for a new assignment within 24 hours from the last day of my
assignment. I know that it must be in WRITING or by EMAIL at services@duracareny.com. I accept and understand that when I do not email or text my availability within the specified period, I am refusing further work with DuraCareNY and thereby voluntarily resigning from my employment with DuraCareNY.
I understand that my unemployment benefits may be denied when I voluntarily resign from any company.
14. I understand the assignment is based on the agreement between DuraCareNY and the Client. The Client has the right and privilege to cancel or modify the terms of the assignment with or without notice.

I understand DuraCareNY will be obligated to pay only for the approved hours worked as indicated on a client‐approved timesheet.
15. I understand that all my notes/timesheets/reassessments are to be submitted in PDF format only to the appropriate email by a week after my treatment. Any paperwork submitted after a week is subject to be paid half the rate.
16. I understand and agree that in case of dispute or controversy arising from or relating to this Employment Agreement, the matter shall be referred for resolution to DuraCareNY, whose decision shall be final and binding on both parties.
