Paperwork Deadlines Apply For Memorial Day

Be advised that although the Civitan Center will be closed on Memorial Day (Monday, May 27th), all normal deadlines will apply for Waiver paperwork.  Angela will be processing Waiver payroll promptly and will then take vacation for the rest of the week so there will be no late paperwork accepted. 

Please make sure your paperwork is turned in no later than 10:00 a.m. on Monday, May 27th (9:00 a.m. for Group Home staff).  This deadline also applies to employees who fax or email their paperwork--any later than 10 a.m. will mean delayed pay--please don't risk it.

Reminder--Client Signatures

Please be reminded that timesheets should not be turned in without client signatures.  It is not acceptable to turn in an unsigned timesheet with a note on it asking someone else to obtain the client's signature for you.  YOU--and no one else--must obtain client signatures for your timesheets.  There are no exceptions to this rule.  If you did not obtain a signature on your timesheet you should not turn it in until it is signed. 

Unsigned timesheets are considered incomplete and will not processed for pay until they are signed.  Please remember in the future to hold all unsigned timesheets until they are signed.

Thanks again for your attention to detail and your compliance with the many rules that help keep us in good standing with our regulators.

Tube Feeding Training--May 30th

Our staff nurse will hold training for those who serve clients with feeding tubes on Thursday, May 30th at 3 pm at the Center.  All Waiver staff members who work with clients using feeding tubes need to attend this training unless you have had a refresher training course within the last year.  If you cannot attend the training please follow up with Darrell immediately.

A Message From Our Director

Good Morning Everyone, 
 

I wanted to take just a minute to thank you all for attending the Annual Charge meeting a couple of weeks ago.  I hope you all learned a lot and enjoyed the day being with your co-workers and friends in a relaxed environment. 
 

One of the things we discussed that day was the need for all of our employees to show a sign of support for our building project.  I have been absolutely blown away by the positive response we have received so far.  For those of you who signed a pledge form, you will receive a note with your paycheck on Friday confirming your wishes.  Please review this closely and let Stacy know if you see any discrepancy.  However, we still need to increase the percentage of employees involved before we travel to Oklahoma next week to meet with representatives of the Mabee Foundation to make our request.  In an attempt to make things easier for you, Stacy is going to make herself available in her office for anyone who would like to make a donation on Friday when everyone is in the Admin hallway to pick up paychecks.  This will allow you to make your gift in a more private way while ensuring that you will receive appropriate credit for your support.   Please remember that EVERY gift counts.  The dollar amount is not nearly as important as your participation at any level.  I will also have extra pledge forms available in case yours has been misplaced.  
 

Thanks again for all you do each and every day.  Your commitment to the men, women and children of Civitan Services is top notch.

Parking Challenges

Just a reminder that until the new Adult Building is completed in Bryant we will continue to face parking challenges.  PLEASE be careful in our parking lot.  Do not create new parking spaces that close off the drive paths.  Remember we have large buses that must fit between your vehicles!  We need to keep client safety in mind as well as remember that families need to be able to park and come in to check their family members in and out of our programs.  We have had more than one fender-bender from folks parking behind other vehicles so consider the risk before you park behind someone--it might not be worth it.

 

We all have to work together!   Remember that there is additional parking available at the Boys and Girls Club next door as well as on the street in front of the building.
