Bring A Buddy Bonus

Here’s how it works… You refer potential employee and…

• You get $50 when they get their first paycheck
• You get another $100 when they have been here for 90 days*
• You get another $150 when they’ve been here 6 months*
• You get another $200 at their one-year anniversary*
• That’s a total of $500 just because you talked about TLC Nursing and suggested to qualified folks that they apply here! Think about it – when you refer only 4 people who stay here with you for one year, you’ll be adding $2,000 to your pocket!

*Employee must work regularly – at least 4 shifts per month

Paid Time Off
A TLC Employee will accumulate vacation and sick time as follows:

• For every 1200 hours worked, the employee will receive 20 hours of paid time off.

Pay is calculated at the base pay rate for each employee. Once the 1200 hours are reached, the employee may opt to use their paid time off in any of the following ways:

• Request time off at least 2 weeks in advance, and receive compensation for the time off (paid at employee’s base rate).
• Carry the time over (capped at 60 hours).
• Sell the time back to TLC at the employee’s base rate of pay.

Vacation time is not pro-rated, i.e., the employee cannot work 800 hours and request 15 hours of vacation – employee must reach 1200 hours in order to receive any paid time off.
All TLC employees have been issued a telephony card with their name on it. Please follow the steps when you check in and check out of your assignment. Number to call is 1-888-624-0163. When you call that number you will be asked to put in your employee’s PIN #. This number is 87 and the last four numbers of your social security #. Then you will need to press 1 if you are checking in and press 2 if you are checking out.If you work in a facility, you must submit your Time Sheet to TLC by 9am Monday morning. Please obtain signatures from the relieving person as well as from either the nurse manager/unit manager/supervisor/scheduler/DON.
