The use of this database is subject to the terms and conditions delineated.Īll timekeeping is done electronically via the Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system, which is simply a method that let's a Personal Assistant clock-in and clock-out using a Consumer's home or mobile phone, a task which bears no cost for a Consumer as the call is a toll-free number. For those Consumers looking for a back-up or a temporary replacement, our Online Recruitment center offers an option to search for available Personal Assistants. To prevent a lapse in service, a Consumer should arrange a back-up Personal Assistant to cover for a regular Personal Assistant’s vacation, holidays, illness, or in the event of an emergency when the regular Personal Assistant is not available. It is the responsibility of the Consumer to notify our agency of his or her decision, if applicable, to terminate a Personal Assistant. As such, the employment contract may be dissolved by any one side-Consumer or Personal Assistant.

In essence, the working relationship between a Consumer and a Personal Assistant is that of an employment contract in which the terms and conditions of the employment are set up and agreed upon by both the Consumer and the Personal Assistant, and such employment contract is binding on both sides.
