[QUOTE="DanB, post: 2766681, member: 237"] I did write her a letter. It was short and to the point. Start date, last day worked, separation voluntary. Thats about all it contained. I was talking to one of my partners in the company. His communication with an Administrator at one of our referral sources gave us some insight. In the Home Health/Personal & Companion care industry. Caregivers have a very high turn over rate. Part is due to the nature of the job. Varied schedules with people trying to make ends meet. If there is a slow down at one job they will jump ship to another company for hours. Unfortunately, the other main reason for turn over is cases like this. Caregivers will apply for a job and work just long enough to ensure daycare benefits are kept. Then quit before they get into trouble on their lodging benefits. The most frustrating part is the work this employee was doing. She was knocking it out of the park. Our clients were giving us positive feedback on their experience with her. Then BOOM. No show no call. No answer to phone calls that day either. This was just reinforcing the problem created by government benefits. While this girl is more than capable to work. And when working did an awesome job. Its easier to work the system knowing the money flow won't get shut off. [/QUOTE]
