Dear Self-Directing Participants,

To ensure we have current and accurate information related to the status of your employees, we ask that you follow the required steps below. This information helps us to support you in exercising your employer authority including during employee inactivation, termination, and workers’ compensation claims.

Employee Inactivation

To maintain active employment status, employees will need to work at least 1 time every 6 months. If an employee is not going to work 1 time within 6 months, please submit an Employee Termination & Inactivation Form. Select “Other” on the form and enter the reason/details, including the anticipated return to work date. The employee will be placed in an “inactive” status for up to 18 months from the date last worked. If the 18-month period of inactivity is exceeded, the employee’s employment will be terminated. If they are interested in returning as an employee following the termination, they will need to reapply. To initiate the rehire process, submit a new hire packet with a copy of the current CPR and First Aid training certifications. 

Employee Resignation / Termination

Please submit an Employee Termination & Inactivation Form for each employee who is terminated or resigns. Please include specific details such as disciplinary issues and discussions related to performance prior to the termination or resignation; this information assists us in responding to unemployment claims in a timely manner. 

Workers Compensation Claims

If an employee is injured while working, please complete the First Report of Injury Form with the employee and submit within 24 hours. Refer to the Worker Injury Reporting for Employees of Self-Directed Participants FAQ for additional instructions.

Communication

All Employee Termination & Inactivation Forms and Workers Compensation reports and responses should be submitted to FMSEmployeeRelations@thearcccr.org for processing. 

Thank you,

Your Self-Directed Services Team at The Arc Central Chesapeake Region
